REPLY:

The Public Participation Network in the South Dublin County Council area is  an independent umbrella organisation and network that provides a voice for all community & voluntary, environmental and social inclusion groups throughout the county. 

The Public Participation Network has representatives on a number of committees including the Strategic Policy Committees, Joint Policing  Committee and the Local Community Development Committee.   These representatives raise the issues and concerns raised by the PPN members at these committee meetings and are part of the policy and decision making process where appropriate.  They report back to the PPN members and their reports are visible on the PPN website:  http://www.sdcppn.ie/
