Fonthill area Local Policing Forum

REPLY:

South Dublin County has four Local Policing Forums one of which covers the Ronanstown Sub District.  According to the guidelines for local policing fora, issued by the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform, 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.”

If members of the Area Committee in Fonthill Palmerstown Electoral Area wish to register an interest in becoming a member of the Management Committee please register this in advance of the next meeting of the Joint Policing Committee (JPC) which is scheduled for Friday 31^st January 2020. If more than one expression of interest is received the JPC will agree on the selection of one elected member, according to the guidelines, at the meeting.

The area covered by Ronanstown Sub district is shown in the attached report with the full text of the guidelines.
