Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan has announced over €4.4 million for 42 community safety projects across the country - including initiatives tackling domestic and gender-based violence, drug intimidation, and youth crime prevention.

Kildare is among the areas set to benefit from a new round of funding that channels the proceeds of crime back into local communities.

Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan has announced over €4.4 million for 42 community safety projects across the country - including initiatives tackling domestic and gender-based violence, drug intimidation, and youth crime prevention.

Among this year’s recipients is the Irish Red Cross, which will receive over €115,000 for its Community-Based Health and Leadership Programme operating in Kildare, Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Donegal.

The funding is part of the Community Safety Fund, which redirects money seized by the Criminal Assets Bureau and An Garda Síochána back into communities.
