Tipperary County Council is pleased to announce the establishment of the Local Community Safety Partnership (LCSP), a new initiative designed to strengthen collaboration between communities, local agencies and An Garda Síochána to enhance safety and wellbeing across the county.

The first official meeting of the LCSP took place on Tuesday 20th January, marking a significant step forward in delivering a more inclusive and community-driven approach to safety. The partnership brings together representatives from statutory bodies, community organisations, and residents to identify priorities and develop practical solutions that address local safety needs.

At this inaugural meeting, members formally elected the Chair Noel Coonan (former Fine Gael elected member and TD) and Vice-Chair Cllr. Andy Moloney, who will lead the partnership in its work to promote safer communities and foster trust and cooperation between all stakeholders.

Speaking at the meeting, Sinéad Carr, Chief Executive of Tipperary County Council, said:
“This partnership represents a shared commitment to working together for the benefit of all who live, work, and visit Tipperary. By combining local knowledge with the resources of statutory agencies, we can create a safer, stronger, and more connected county.” This partnership provides a unique opportunity to make change.

The LCSP will focus on key priorities such as crime prevention, community engagement, and supporting vulnerable groups, ensuring that every voice is heard in shaping the future of community safety.

Speaking at the meeting, Noel Coonan newly elected Chair of the Local Community Safety partnership, said:
“I am looking forward to working with Áine Roche Co Ordinator of the LCSP and alongside Vice Chair Andy Moloney and the partnership to give back to the community and to establish a strong plan for community safety in Tipperary”.

Noel stated that the strong expertise of the partnership will contribute to great ideas to foster partnerships within the group and that he looks forward to the challenge ahead.
