The Minister for Justice Helen McEntee, T.D. has today announced the allocation of just over €3 million worth of funding to 30 projects who are adopting projects to improve safety in their communities.
Grants have been awarded under this fund to organisations or community groups that have innovative proposals to improve community safety and have not been able to access other sources of funding.
Under Budget 2024, €7.9m will be allocated towards community safety initiatives, including €3.75m for the Community Safety Innovation Fund, which is an increase of almost €1 million on last year.
The Tiglin project is one of the successful projects under the Community Safety Innovation Fund, which uses the proceeds of crime as seized by An Garda Siochana and the Criminal Assets Bureau to help build stronger, safer communities and further invest in communities.
