Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 June 2004
143 Mr. S. Ryan asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he will report on the need to provide closed circuit television in Swords, County Dublin; the timescale for same; and when the people of Swords can expect this to be provided. [18986/04]
View answerI am informed by the Garda authorities that an application for a Garda CCTV system in Swords 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 currently under consideration by the advisory committee along with applications from other towns throughout the country.
However, it should be noted that there are 17 CCTV schemes nationwide which are either at installation, tender or planning stages that will have to be completed prior to the initiation of future CCTV projects.
