I propose to take Questions Nos. 1379 and 1433 together.
Kilkenny is one of 17 locations set to receive new Garda CCTV systems over the next two years – subject, of course, to the availability of funds. The other locations are, in alphabetical order: Athlone, Ballyfermot, Bray, Carlow, Castlebar, Clondalkin, Clonmel, Dundalk, Dún Laoghaire, Ennis, Finglas, Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Tallaght and Waterford. Planning by the Garda authorities for the installation of the CCTV system in Kilkenny is scheduled to commence in 2003.
