A Clare community organisation is among the beneficiaries of a new government programme that redirects the proceeds of crime.

The €4.4m Community Safety Fund is entirely composed of monies seized by the Criminal Assets Bureau.

It's now been reinvested in 42 voluntary organisations nationwide, with the Killaloe Ballina Family Resource Centre getting €45,300.

Centre Administrator Brona Moriarty says it will play a huge role in their operations.
