1039 Mr. O’Dowd asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the position regarding the proposed closed circuit television for the town of Drogheda, County Louth; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21389/04]
View answerI am informed by the Garda authorities that an application for a Garda CCTV system in Drogheda 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 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.
