Proceeds of crime fund to support community projects, opened for applications by Minister McEntee.
Money seized from proceeds of crime to be used to support investment in communities.
Community Safety Innovation Fund will have initial allocation of €2million.
Call for applications for innovative ways to improve community safety.
The Minister for Justice, Mrs Helen McEntee TD, has today opened applications for a new fund, which will see the proceeds of crime re-invested in local projects to improve community safety.
Reflecting the success of An Garda Síochána and the Criminal Assets Bureau in seizing proceeds from criminal activity, the new fund will use money seized from the proceeds of crime to support investment in community safety projects.
The Community Safety Innovation Fund, which is expected to grow in the coming years, will have an initial outlay of €2m for this year.
It is anticipated that the kind of projects which may be supported will include activities intended to:
tackle crime or reduce the fear of crime; improve community safety and feelings of safety.
support the creation of safe and resilient communities;
reduce reoffending.
divert vulnerable individuals away from engagement in criminal behaviour.
The Minister has stated: “An Garda Síochána and the Criminal Assets Bureau have achieved significant success in seizing the ill-gotten gains of criminal gangs who seek to inflict misery on so many communities. This new fund will ensure that the success of An Garda Síochána and CAB is reflected in new investments in our communities, and on projects which will build strong and safe communities. Community Safety is about people being safe and, just as importantly, feeling safe within their communities. This, of course, goes beyond policing alone. This fund will ensure that the best proposals get the funding they need, and it will encourage the development of innovative ways in which to improve community safety from those people who understand local needs best. For example, the new fund could help communities improve public spaces, or fund local sporting or arts facilities.”
The Fund is open to bodies involved in community safety and will support them in addressing local needs and opportunities for innovation not provided for in other funds managed by Departments and agencies. The call for applications for the Fund runs from April 6th until June 8th 2022 and grants will range from €20,000 to €150,000.
The development of innovative ideas will also allow best practice on community safety and youth justice to be shared with other partnerships and communities nationally as new proposals are developed.
This launch fulfils a commitment in Justice Plan 2022, to seek applications for community safety projects and similar initiatives from bodies involved in community safety.

Back to Work Allowance & Back to Work Family Dividend: (Payment due: Monday 18th April). Payment available: Thursday 14th April.
The Stations will start at 12.00 noon at the Church boreen, beside two family residences, just after the signpost for the first junction to the right after the Turnpike. People will follow the ancient Mass Path to the little Church, before continuing on to the site of the Round Tower, before concluding in the Main Monastery Church of St. Mochaomhog (St. Pulcherius), latter saint known as ‘The Holy Man of Liathmore’.
There are two Churches on this Liathmore site; the larger one (above) was enlarged possibly in the 12th century, and contains a number of tombs.
Who was St. Mochoemog?
Different accounts vary, however from what we can glean from our history; St. Mochoemog was born to parents Beoanus and Nesse, latter a sister of St. Íte of Killeedy, a civil parish located south of Newcastle West, in Co. Limerick, possibly around 550 A.D.
It is believed that he was brought up or at least strongly influenced by his aunt, Saint Íte, and at the age of 20 was sent to then recently established Bangor Abbey, Co. Down (established 558 A.D.) where he was further instructed by the Clonmacnoise educated and founder of Bangor Abbey, Abbot Saint Comgall.
Bangor was then a major centre of learning, referred to as the “Light of the World”[Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life”. ( John Chapter 8: verse 12)], and was responsible for the training of many documented missionaries, including St. Columbanus, St. Mirin and Carthach (Saint Mo Chutu mac Fínaill)
He later returned to southern Éile (County Tipperary), where a chieftain granted him a site for a monastery in an area known as Liathmochaemog (Liathmore) in the parish of Two-Mile Borris, Thurles in the Barony of Eliogarty.
Today, as stated the site remains marked only by a church, latter the ‘stone survivor’ of a community that would have used wood, together with wattle-and-daub, for its alas no longer evident dwelling houses.
It was believed that St. Mochoemog lived long, and died at the age of 106 years, in Liathmore, on March 13th, 656 A.D, some 1,366 years ago, just last month.
Liathmore-Mochoemog would remain an important centre of Christianity between the 7th and 11th century, serving most of south Tipperary and Kilkenny.
Several miracles are attributed to St. Mochoemog, among others, his having cured of blindness, a holy virgin Canners, latter daughter of Fintan, who is considered to have been the relative of St. Molua, of Clonfert-Molua, latter who also learnt the monastic life at the northern monastery of Bangor under the tutelage of Saint Comgall, and possibly St. Mochoemog’s personal confessor.
Young people will be participating in this event and people of all age groups are most welcome to be in attendance.
With light rain forecast, please do dress appropriately for the weather and for walking both on the fields and on boreen.
Note: Parking will be available on the road side and all are welcome to this Christian gathering.
