1159 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position regarding funding for a co-ordinator for a project (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20160/03]
I have been informed by the Garda authorities that the Garda community relations section are aware of the application for funding for a co-ordinator for the "A" District Policing Fora – includes Rialto Policing Forum.
The original community policing forum, which came into operation in 2000 on a pilot basis, did not make provision for a co-ordinator. However, following on an independent evaluation of the forum, the provision of a co-ordinator was raised. This matter is currently under consideration.
