New sports officers to work with ‘at risk’ youths
“Sport is a valuable tool for engaging young people in positive and creative pursuits,” said Community Affairs Minister Noel Ahern yesterday.
Some €440,000 is being provided for the additional officers, who will operate in various disadvantaged areas of Dublin including Dún Laoghaire, Blanchardstown, Clondalkin and Tallaght as well as the south-inner city and the north-east area.
