Vol. 513 No. 6

Written Answers. - Closed Circuit Television Systems.

Tony Gregory

Ceist:

375 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if it has been agreed to install closed circuit television cameras at sites in Finglas, Dublin 11; and, if so, the timescale involved. [2996/00]

Finglas is one of six locations that have been prioritised for the installation of Garda CCTV systems as an aid to policing by the CCTV advisory committee. The other locations, in alphabetical order, are Bray, Cork, Dublin (South Central), Dundalk and Limerick.

The extension of the Garda CCTV system in Dublin to include Grafton Street and its surrounding streets and the installation of a CCTV system in Cork city are the CCTV projects currently being undertaken. The order in which the remaining priority locations, including Finglas, will be undertaken has not yet been decided. I can, however, confirm that it is intended to commence the planning and implementation of Garda CCTV systems in each of the prioritised locations as soon as possible but it is not possible at this stage to give a definitive timescale in this regard.
