The Nenagh Community Reparation Project is a pilot
project in restorative
justice which commenced in June 1999. It is modelled on a similar
project, operating in Timaru in New Zealand, whereby offenders are
provided with alternative means of making reparation to their victim
or community.
It proposes an alternative way of dealing with some offenders from
the Criminal Justice (Court) System. The Project enlists the expertise
and experience of local statutory and state funded organisations
and local community interests. It is funded by the Probation and
Welfare Service..
