Donegal Foróige Garda Youth Diversion Project team praised for their efforts
Ministers visited Donegal recently to meet with local gardaí
Members of the Foróige Garda Youth Diversion Project team have been praised in their efforts to curb anti-social behaviour.
The group met with Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue and Minister of State for Law Reform, James Brown on a recent visit to Letterkenny where they discussed their front-line engagement with young people and the important work the service does in working to divert vulnerable young people from a life of anti-social behaviour or crime by offering positive options and alternatives to help them choose a better path.
The ministers also met with local gardai in Letterkenny and Carndonagh.
Commenting on the meetings, Minister McConalogue said: "The work our Gardaí do to keep our communities safe and secure is essential. It was useful to engage with Gardaí in Carndonagh and Letterkenny with Minister of State Browne to discuss policing in Inishowen and Letterkenny and how the Government can continue to support them in their work.
"We also had a useful meeting the Foróige Donegal Garda Youth Diversion Project to discuss their work since Minister of State Browne’s last visit in 2021.
"I commend the Project team and all our Gardaí throughout Donegal for the work they do to keep us safe and secure."
