2293. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration if there is an individual or team in his Department overseeing the implementation of Local Community Safety Partnerships; and if so, if contact details will be made available. [57141/26]

The Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024, which I commenced in April 2025, provides for the establishment of Local Community Safety Partnerships (Safety Partnerships) within each local authority area.

Safety Partnerships once established, are independent, community-led bodies mandated to design tailored safety plans based on local priorities. They make their own decisions as to their day-to-day activity, operating in accordance with Statutory Regulations and having regard to Guidance from the National Office for Community Safety.

The National Office for Community Safety, an office of my Department, is providing support and guidance to Safety Partnerships in the performance of their functions. It is a statutory function of the National Office to commission research and evaluations relating to the operation of Safety Partnerships. The National Office will also monitor the implementation of local community safety plans once they have been developed.

The National Office for Community Safety can be contacted directly by email at the following address: info@communitysafety.ie
