Criminal Proceeds Redirected to Community Safety Projects – Tipperary Has Benefited in Previous Years.
More than €4.8 million seized through the proceeds of crime is being redirected into community projects across Ireland under the 2026 Community Safety Fund.
Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration Mr Jim O’Callaghan has announced funding of €4.84 million for 56 projects nationwide, supporting initiatives aimed at improving community safety, assisting vulnerable groups, encouraging youth participation and promoting greater inclusion and integration.
The Community Safety Fund uses proceeds of crime seized by the Criminal Assets Bureau and An Garda Síochána to support community-led projects.
The 2026 allocation represents a 10% increase on the €4.4 million awarded in 2025 and is €2.84 million higher than the €2 million allocated when the fund was first introduced in 2022.
The number of successful projects has also grown significantly, with 56 projects receiving support this year, more than double the number funded in the first year of the scheme.
The organisation has been awarded €74,000 for its Safe Neighbourhood Project, which aims to tackle social isolation and concerns around community safety in disadvantaged inner-city areas.
The initiative will bring younger and older residents together through volunteering, community activities and storytelling projects involving art and media, with the aim of building trust and strengthening relationships between generations.
Minister O’Callaghan said the Community Safety Fund was designed to turn the proceeds of criminal activity into positive investment in communities.
He said the record €4.84 million allocation would support community-led initiatives working to make communities safer and more inclusive, while helping vulnerable groups, engaging young people and supporting crime prevention.
Projects funded nationally this year cover areas including community engagement, inclusion of minority and marginalised groups, domestic, sexual and gender-based violence, youth safety, addiction recovery, reducing reoffending, digital safety and online harm, and supports for LGBTQI+ communities.
Tipperary has previously received funding
Tipperary has benefited directly from the Community Safety Fund in previous years.
In 2025, Tipperary County Council and Youth Work Ireland Tipperary were awarded €137,750 for the Cashel Traveller Education Initiative.
A further €45,300 was awarded in 2025 to the Killaloe/Ballina Community and Family Resource Centre for its Power without Violence programme, with the project listed as operating across Tipperary and Clare.
Tipperary also featured among areas benefiting from earlier rounds of the fund. In 2023, Waterford LEADER Partnership received €149,820 for a South East Farming Pilot operating across South Tipperary, Wexford, Carlow, Kilkenny, and Waterford. The project was aimed at providing vulnerable young people with social and care-farming placements.
Another 2023 project, the Community Safety Weapons Awareness Programme, led by Moyross Development CLG, was listed as operating across Tipperary, Limerick and Clare .
In 2024, Tipperary was again included in a multi-county project listed among the 33 successful Community Safety Fund projects, with an initiative operating across Tipperary, Limerick and Clare .
The Department of Justice says the fund has expanded substantially since its introduction, rising from €2 million for 22 projects in 2022 to the record €4.84 million allocation for 56 projects announced for 2026.
The National Office for Community Safety is responsible for administering the fund.
