Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

The CCTV advisory committee that was established by the Garda Commissioner to advise on CCTV matters has received a report from the chief superintendent, Dublin metropolitan region north central division, which encompasses the areas in question, outlining the CCTV requirements of the division. The advisory committee is still considering this report and is not in a position to make recommendations on the matter to the commissioner at present.
