Written Answers. - Closed Circuit Television Systems.
There is no record in my Department of any application being received for a Garda CCTV system in the area referred to by the Deputy. I have also been advised by the Garda authorities that no application has been received by the advisory committee that was established by the Garda Commissioner to examine CCTV applications for a Garda CCTV system in the area referred to by the Deputy.
All applications for Garda CCTV systems must be prepared in co-operation with the local Garda district and divisional officers and receive their full support. They may then be considered by the advisory committee, which will make a recommendation to me in this regard.
