MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, December 09, 2013

QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

To ask the Manager for a report on efforts to secure funding for the four Community Safety Forum posts in the County and to provide an indication as to whether he believes funding will be made available for 2014 from Central or Local government sources?

REPLY:

The Council has received the second and final tranche of funding from the Department of Health in respect of the four posts for 2013.

We have been in constant contact with the Department concerning funding for the posts in 2014.

The Council has provided the Department recently with details of the work of the projects and their value to the local communities and other relevant stakeholders with the aim of securing funding for 2014.

We have not yet received notification of funding for 2014 though we understand that the Department will be notifying the respective Drugs Task Forces in the very near future of their allocations for 2014 and may include provision for the four Project posts.
