Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2004
750 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if an application has been made for the provision of a closed circuit television system in Drogheda; and if so, the status of the application. [11945/04]
View answerI am informed by the Garda authorities that 17 locations are set to receive new Garda CCTV systems, subject to the availability of funds. These locations are — in alphabetical order: Athlone, Ballyfermot, Bray, Carlow, Castlebar, Clondalkin, Clonmel, Dundalk, Dun Laoghaire, Ennis, Finglas, Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick, Sligo, Tallaght and Waterford.
I have been further informed by the Garda authorities that an application for a Garda CCTV system in Drogheda has been received by the CCTV advisory committee. This application is under consideration by the committee together with a number of applications from other cities and towns throughout the country. However, it should be noted that the 17 schemes, which are either at installation, tender or planning stages would have to be completed prior to the initiation of future CCTV projects.
