Tallaght West Childhood Development Initiative (CDI)

The CDI comprises a group of 23 members representing community leaders, residents and professionals who work in the area of Tallaght West. The staff of CDI includes a Project Leader, Dr Katherine Zappone, and a team of administrators and researchers.

The CDI began its work in late 2003 in order to develop a solutions-based 10 year strategy to improve the health, safety and learning of the children of the area and to increase their sense of belonging to their community. Support for the work has been drawn from the children, parents and community members in Tallaght West along with statutory and community-based providers, regional agencies, national institutions and experts.

The CDI has published eight preliminary research documents, culminating in the publication of A Place for Children. CDI is partnered with Atlantic Philanthropies - an international philanthropic organisation - which has invested in the planning phase of the initiative. CDI is also supported by the Dartington Social Research Unit.

In 2006 the CDI [became] a legal entity, with formal links to regional and county structures. It will be a catalyst for further innovation and integration of children's services, act as a commissioner of new services and ensure high quality evaluation of developments.

South Dublin County Council given least money: Labour

According to Labour Party leader, Pat Rabbitte, T.D., South Dublin County Council is allocated the least amount of money per head of population by the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government.

According to the statement, issued on 2nd January by Mr. Rabbitte:

"Minister Roche recently announced the distribution of €868m from the Local Govt Fund to County Councils for 2007, but when you look at the spending per head of population South Dublin County Council comes bottom of the list.

"The average spend per head of population across the country is €205. However, the figure for South Dublin County Council, is just over half that at €106. Leitrim on the other hand, quite rightly, gets €536 per person.

"If any county is in need of greater investment, it is a county like South Dublin where growth rates have been so astronomical. Is it any wonder that there is such a scarcity of resources in areas like planning and enforcement; the provision of social and affordable housing; the provision of playgrounds; and the delivery of roads.

"I have long suspected South Dublin County Council has been getting the rough end the stick from Dick Roche’s Department. These figures are a clear indication that my suspicion was right. South Dublin County Council is simply not getting the money that it needs."

Figures released in the statement show the following allocations for 2007 [Click on image to enlarge]:
