Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 January 2023
1073. Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Justice if he will provide a full list of the successful applicants of the community safety innovation fund, by electoral area, and funds awarded in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [63465/22]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, Minister McEntee announced the funding allocations for the Community Safety Innovation Fund on 17 October 2022. Details of the successful applicants, including funding allocated under the Fund is available at the following link:
www.gov.ie/en/press-release/13736-minister-mcentee-announces-2-million-in-grants-to-reinvest-proceeds-of-crime-in-community-safety/.
To be of assistance, the list of successful applicants by electoral area is attached for the Deputy's information.
The Community Safety Innovation Fund reflects the successes of An Garda Síochána and the Criminal Assets Bureau in identifying and seizing the ill-gotten gains of criminals. Equally, people across Ireland are working tirelessly in their communities to prevent crime from taking hold and make their local areas safer.
By putting this money back into the community, we can show that there is a direct link between the activities of law enforcement and improving community safety.
The Criminal Assets Bureau works closely with Gardaí and all law enforcement agencies at national and international levels. The Proceeds of Crime (Amendment) Act 2005 makes provision for the Bureau to seize assets that were generated in foreign jurisdictions. This Act enables the Bureau to cooperate fully with other international asset recovery agencies.
The Deputy may also be aware that Budget 2023 allocates €3 million to the CSIF, an increase of 50%, and a call for funding will issue early this year. I hope to be in a position to announce details in Q1.
