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.
Question No. 1380 answered with Question No. 1358.
