REPORT:

Local Community Safety Partnerships (LCSPs) for South Dublin County

In response to the introduction of new legislation under the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024, South Dublin County Council (SDCC) is establishing a Local Community Safety Partnership (LCSP) for the county.

The LCSP will bring together representatives from key stakeholders, including:

• An Garda Síochána,
• Elected Members,
• Community & business representatives,
• Agencies such as HSE, Tusla, Youth Services.

The LCSP will be responsible for the development of a tailored and prioritised local community safety plan. This plan will be created in collaboration with both the  community and public service providers, ensuring it is responsive to the unique needs of the county.

Once the LCSP is operational, further subcommittees and working groups will be formed to address specific issues and areas of concern.  These groups will report directly to the LCSP, ensuring a coordinated and effective approach to community safety.

 

Estate Management and Anti Social officers regularly meet with An Garda Siochana to discuss ongoing anti-social and criminial incidents in the Quarryvale area.    The Interagency Section, Community Department are working with Quarryvale Community and Youth Centre, An Garda Siochana and Noise Music to develop youth programmes in the area.  Further programmes will begin in February 2025.
