Liam Kelly of Ardfinnan has been selected by the Tipperary Public Participation Network to serve as the Older Persons Representative on the Tipperary Local Community Safety Partnership.
This new partnership will replace the old Joint Policing Committee and open its doors to a wider range of voices from across the community.
The group is set to meet for its first meeting next week, during which they will choose their chair and vice chair. Liam Kelly, once a member of An Garda Síochána, has long been a driving force in local life. He launched the first community alert programmes in Ardfinnan, Ballyporeen, Clogheen, and Newcastle, and has championed these efforts ever since joining Muintir na Tire in 2005.
The Local Community Safety Partnership in Tipperary will bring together seven councillors, a senior county council manager, and representatives from every corner of the county. Members will also include voices from health, child and family services, the police, education, local businesses, youth groups, newcomers, people with disabilities, social inclusion advocates, and volunteers. Their shared goal is to create a safer community and, when needed, secure government funding to turn their ideas into action.
