Dublin City Council (DCC), is inviting applications from members of the public, to join the Local Community Safety Partnerships (LCSP). The LCSP are a new initiative which seek to work collaboratively with local communities, Gardai and public services, to make our communities safer places for families, residents and businesses. DCC are seeking expressions of interest from residents, youth, minority groups and representatives of community and voluntary organisations to join this new initiative. If you are interested, please complete the application form here.
These voluntary positions are not PPN Representative roles, which means that people who are not connected to PPN member groups can apply. PPN Representatives who have previously served two terms can also apply for these roles.
Applications are now open for the Music Capital Scheme 2025. This scheme provides funding for the purchase of musical instruments and selected items of equipment to individual professional musicians and non-professional groups across the country. Further details about the application process here.
