CCTV is important for communities in the protection of people from harm. I am pleased to announce an extension of the current scheme to next year. Grant aid is available and moneys have been drawn down.

The Deputy mentioned a particular case in Tipperary. My understanding is there is a need for further engagement between Garda headquarters and local gardaí, given that it is a Garda operational issue. I hope that the matter can be resolved and I have every confidence it will be. I would be happy to communicate further with the Deputy early in the new year.
