Thurles Templemore MD Councillors will attend a meeting of the District Community Safety Committee Meeting on Monday at 9.30am to be followed by the May meeting of the Municipal District Council.
The national Roll out of new County Wide Community Safety Partnerships intended to replace the Joint Policing Committee structure is stalled as the Government is yet to finalise the regulations regarding the membership of Community Safety Partnerships.
