Enniscorthy Community Alliance will receive over €142,000 from the Community Safety Fund, supporting 42 safety projects nationwide.
The Community Safety Fund returns crime proceeds seized by the CAB (Criminal Assets Bureau) and An Garda Siochana to local communities.
Minister for Housing, Local Development and the Environment, Enniscorthy’s James Browne TD has welcomed the news. “I am pleased to see a significant tranche of funding be allocated to Enniscorthy Community Alliance, who do brilliant work that we want to see continue in the local area. Their project entitled ‘Empowering Voices for Safer Communities’ is critical and has received €142,408.”
Enniscorthy Community Alliance is currently involved in many projects around the town such as The Shannon Way project and the refurbishment of the Captain Wafer Hall.
Minister Browne added; “The Community Safety Fund is an important and effective element in achieving stronger, safer communities. It ensures that the proceeds of crime seized by CAB and An Garda Síochána are re-invested back into communities to enhance safety and security in those communities.
It demonstrates that the efforts of our Gardaí and law enforcement bodies can not only disrupt and seize the proceeds of crime but can directly contribute to building stronger and safer communities.”
