The website www.nicnewcommunities.ie aims to provide people from new commmunities living and working in the North Inner City area with a channel of communication to express their views, and to build relationships between the new communities, the Gardaí and Dublin City Council. The website was developed by An Garda Síochána Dublin Metropolitan Regional North Central Division. It won an award at the Media and Multicultural Awards in November 2008.
