Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Deputy Dermot Ahern)

Section 38 of the Garda Síochána Act, 2005 provides a legislative basis for the operation of closed circuit television in public places. Detailed guidelines and a Code of Practice for Community Based CCTV Systems are available on my Department's website —www.justice.ie.
