310 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the channel by which the community policing forum in Dublin 1 will be mainstreamed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3175/02]
The community policing forum in the Dublin north inner city area was established as a pilot project and funded under the national drugs strategy initiative. Funding has been channelled through the Department of the Environment and Local Government. Following a formal external evaluation, consideration is being given, in consultation with the Garda authorities, to the appropriate funding channel with a view to establishing the procedures and structures necessary to facilitate the mainstreaming of the project.
