Welcome to Tower Programme
Since 1999 the local Probation Service team have been based in Cusack House and have been offering a community based service to offenders from the wider Clondalkin area by way of Probation Supervision, Community Service Supervision and Temporary Release Supervision. The Probation Service offers a professional service to its clients and works closely with all relevant agencies.
Our mission is to implement and develop a programme, in association with The Probation Service, local community groups and relevant statutory agencies that will provide skills and pre-employment training to marginalised young adults from North Clondalkin who have come into conflict with the law, with the aim of reducing offending behaviour by accentuating personal development.
