My Department has allocated €50,000 to support community safety fora in the Tallaght Local Drugs Task Force area and a further €50,000 to community safety fora in the Clondalkin Local Drugs Task Force area this year.

This funding will help to secure the long term sustainability of community safety initiatives developed by the estate management groups in Killinarden and Fettercairn in Tallaght, and by community safety fora in North Clondalkin and South West Clondalkin.

South Dublin County Council, the channel of funding for the initiatives, is in the process of putting accountability arrangements in place at a local level in relation to governance of the expenditure.
