Plan
');
Top ranking gardaí in the Kildare Garda Division have agreed to a motion to divert cash seized in local crime into services in the community.
The call was made at this week’s Joint Policing Committee (JPC) meeting which was held online.
Committee member Cllr Fiona McLoughlin Healy called on the JPC to write to the Ministers for Justice, Finance and Public Expenditure to make provisions where money confiscated under the Proceeds of Crime Legislation be redirected from central funds back into local community.
The Newbridge politician listed off areas that could benefit such as local addiction services, youth organisations and community initiatives to combat the effect of addiction in communities.
