QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

To ask the Chief Executive to write to Leitrim Comhairle na nOg complimenting them on their work in addressing means of combating personal violence against the person and in particular for the production of the Video “Use your Brain not your Fist” and that South Dublin Comhairle na nOg be invited to make a presentation to the chamber, on the same subject including the Video, at a suitable and early occasion.

REPLY:

There has been extensive work carried out over the last number of years on similar issues by South Dublin Comhairle na nÓg and they have previously made a presentation on a similar project. The Community Services Department is fully committed to the support of the South Dublin Comhairle na nÓg and a Community Worker is assigned to assist, support and facilitate the group.  Previously presentations by Comhairle have been made to relevant Strategic Policy Committees and Joint Policing.

A letter will issue to Leitrim Comhairle na nÓg complimenting them on their work in addressing personal violence and the production of their video.
