Written Answers. - Closed Circuit Television Systems.
Responsibility for ensuring the safety and welfare of all personnel in schools is a matter for individual school authorities. In practical terms, individual school authorities are best placed to assess their security details. My Department provides funding for external closed circuit television systems in second level schools only, depending on the merits of each case. Internal security arrangements, including the use and operation of CCTV, are a matter for school authorities.
