North Clondalkin, Lucan and Palmerstown Local Policing Forum

Following a letter from the co-ordinator of the North Clondalkin, Lucan and Palmerstown Local Policing Forum (LPF) to the Chair of the Clondalkin Area Committee on 7^th February 2018 informing that there is no Clondalkin Councillor represented on the LPF and the need for the Area Committee to choose a representative.

In accordance with the guidelines for local policing fora, issued by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, which state that each local forum should have a Management Committee, and each Management Committee should include:

 “one local authority elected member, chosen from those elected members who have registered their interest in being a member of the relevant LPF. The local authority elected member shall rotate every second year on a basis to be decided by the elected members who have registered their interest and in consultation with the other members of the Management Committee. If the elected members are unable to choose one member among their number, he or she will be chosen by lot.”

The Local Policing Forum currently meets monthly on a Thursday evening in Collinstown Sports Complex.
