Tánaiste and Minister for Defence

The information sought by the Deputy is not readily available in the format requested. My officials will collate same and I will arrange to have this data provided to the Deputy in due course.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51.

I refer to the above-referenced Parliamentary Question. As you will appreciate the CCTV cameras which are installed in Defence Forces installations form part of the security installations of these buildings and it would not be appropriate to release any information regarding its security installations and, as such, I am not in a position to comment further.
