What surprises me is that the CCTV is often not monitored at the local Garda station. There should be such a monitoring system. The town centre in Blanchardstown has an advanced security system but the local Garda station, which is only about 200 yards away, does not monitor what is happening. Every afternoon two gardaí walk the 200 yards to the town centre and patrol it. It would be better to put those gardaí on the beat and have a system in the Garda station for monitoring the CCTV.
