Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 March 2014
758. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if appropriate funding will be provided to fund a new phase of a Garda CCTV system in view of the continuing high levels of burglary and related crime. [13334/14]
View answerGarda CCTV systems are planned and implemented on the basis of An Garda Síochána's identified operational needs and priorities. Accordingly, decisions in relation to the introduction or extension of such systems are a matter for the Garda Commissioner.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that the question of extending the current Garda CCTV arrangements is being kept under ongoing review in the context of overall policy considerations and the availability of funding.
