Earlier this year I had the proceeds of crime Bill pass Second Stage, which would see money seized by the Criminal Assets Bureau, CAB, put back into disadvantaged communities. The Government copied part of this Bill and introduced the community safety innovation fund. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but not in this case. Most of the money seized by CAB has been ripped from communities where criminals have been most active, like parts of my area. It must, therefore, be returned to these communities. Six applications from my area, Dublin Mid-West, were sent in for this fund, including a local horse project and an addiction centre. Will the Minister explain how there was not one successful applicant in the whole of Dublin Mid-west, part of which constituency has been torn apart by drug use and criminality over the years?

The community safety innovation fund is an important new initiative which the Minister, Deputy McEntee, and a number of parliamentary colleagues were anxious to implement. It is about ensuring a link between where crimes are committed and proceeds are raised by CAB, for example, and the availability of those proceeds to improve investment in local communities. I do not have the details of the applications the Deputy referred to in Dublin Mid-West but I will ask the Minister to examine that and come back to the Deputy.
