Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 May 2004
371 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his Department has made progress in relation to providing the necessary finance to permit the installation of closed circuit television cameras, CCTV, in or around Mullingar town, which has been requested by all of the relevant authorities; when a decision will be made in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15666/04]
View answerI am informed by the Garda authorities that an application for a Garda CCTV system in Mullingar has been received by the CCTV advisory committee. This committee was established by the Garda Commissioner to advise on all matters relating to CCTV systems. This application is under consideration by the advisory committee along with applications from other cities and towns throughout the country. It should be noted that there are already 17 CCTV schemes nationwide which are either at installation, tender or planning stages.
