Amharc ar fhreagraA rural CCTV initiative was announced by the then Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government in September 2015. This was, however, a small pilot scheme only, with a limited overall budget. This scheme came to an end earlier this year with no provision for further funding.
I understand that the Minister for Justice and Equality is currently developing proposals to give effect to the Programme for a Partnership Government commitment to provide investment in CCTV systems. This process has been informed by learnings from the pilot initiative managed by my Department.
