The Local Community Safety Partnership (LCSP) is a Government Initiative that brings together community members, statutory services, the voluntary and community sector, and local councillors to work together in identifying and tackling community safety issues locally.
Local Community Safety Partnerships have been established in Dublin’s North Inner City, Longford, and Waterford, on a pilot basis with each LCSP led by an Independent Chairperson.
The Dublin North Inner City Local Community Safety Partnership was established in 2021 to help promote community safety across the ten neighbourhoods:
City Centre East
City Centre North
City Centre West
Clonliffe / Ballybough
East Wall / North Lotts
Halston Street / Inns Quay
Montpelier / Arbour Hill
Sheriff Street / IFSC
Smithfield / Broadstone
Dublin Port
A key objective of each LCSP was to prepare a Community Safety Plan informed by the community.
On 8 September 2023, Minister for Justice Helen McEntee was joined by the Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform, Paschal Donohoe, to launch the Dublin North Inner City Local Community Safety Plan in the Ballybough Community Sports Centre.
The detailed action plan includes measures to tackle anti-social behaviour and drug dealing but also broader actions to improve feelings of community safety, such as integration of new cultures into the area, improved supports for families and increased awareness around issues like domestic violence.
