As part of The Executive’s Action Plan to tackle paramilitarism, criminality and organised crime Co-operation Ireland is working with communities in eight areas to help them overcome the threat and control of paramilitary and criminal gangs. Sessions are taking place for those who live, work and volunteer in Communities in Transition areas to identify the outcomes they want to achieve for their area and to consider the role the community should have in the delivery of practical solutions that will tackle paramilitary activity, criminality and organised crime. Each session is area specific and will focus on a particular theme identified through the first phase of the project.
Sessions have/are taking place in Carrickfergus and Larne, Lurgan, New Lodge and Greater Ardoyne, East Belfast, Brandywell and Creggan, the Shankill, North Down and West Belfast. Registration is open for those events still to take place.
