Nicky McFadden (Fine Gael)

Will the Leader speak to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform about the implementation of closed circuit television systems in Athlone and Mullingar, County Westmeath? A serious incident recently occurred in Athlone, which has still not been solved. If CCTV had been in place, it would have been solved by now. Planning permission was granted for a CCTV system in the town in 1998. The Leader's party colleague from Westmeath raised this issue in the Dáil two weeks ago after I raised the issue. The Leader has more of the ear of the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform than the Deputy and I ask him to have a word in his ear to expedite the permission.
