· Building stronger, safer communities requires input from all State agencies
· Local communities know best how to improve their areas
· North Inner City Plan contains 50 actions from Dublin City Council, business groups, the HSE, Tusla, youth services, An Garda Síochána and others
08 September 2023
Minister for Justice Helen McEntee T.D., joined by the Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform, Paschal Donohoe T.D., has today launched the Dublin North Inner City Local Community Safety Plan.
Minister McEntee established the Community Safety Partnership in 2020 as one of three pilots ahead of the national rollout of her new community safety policy next year.
This policy recognises that building stronger, safer communities is not just the responsibility of An Garda Síochána or the justice sector alone.
It acknowledges that the local community knows best how to improve safety in their areas, and will – working the HSE, Tusla, education providers, business groups, An Garda Síochána, public and community representatives – draw up plans to identify what actions are needed.
