There will be a public Local Policing Forum consultative meeting for the Shandon Phibsborough area on Thursday 29th November at 8pm in the Club Room, St Peter’s Church. This is an opportunity for people living and working the area to meet with the Gardai, Dublin City Council and elected representatives to discuss and address issues of concern. As Chair of the Dublin Central Joint Policing Committee I encourage people from the area to come along as these forum meetings feed into the priorities for the Dublin Central Joint Policing Commitee.
