Introduction

As a response to the challenges experienced by the community in Drogheda resulting from the activities of organised crime gangs in 2020 Minister Helen McEntee TD commissioned a Community Safety and Wellbeing scoping report produced by Vivien Geiran, former Director of the Probation Service.

The scoping report comprehensively addresses the ongoing challenges and needs experienced by communities in Drogheda and identifies opportunities to connect, support and strengthen services in the area.

The Drogheda Implementation Board is the core driver and coordinator of change associated with the implementation of the recommendations within this report. The Board consists of senior decision makers from relevant agencies such as An Garda Síochána; Probation Service; Local Authority; HSE; TUSLA; LMETB; Louth LEADER Partnership; and Community Representatives.
