268 Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his Department is in receipt of an application for funding towards the cost of providing a closed circuit television system in a town (details supplied) in County Kildare; the status of any such application; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe Community-based CCTV Scheme was launched in 2005 to provide financial assistance to qualifying local organisations towards the capital costs of establishing a community CCTV system. Pobal administer the Scheme on behalf of my Department. I am advised by Pobal that in 2007 an application for funding was received from an organisation in the town referred to by the Deputy. Following a thorough assessment of the application, it was deemed not to have met a number of the qualifying criteria and was therefore not approved funding. I am further advised that Pobal provided feedback to the unsuccessful applicant in August 2007.
