An Garda Síochána is at present expanding its town centre CCTV programme and Mullingar is one of the 14 new locations involved. I have been informed by the Garda authorities that tenders for the provision of a CCTV system for Mullingar have been fully evaluated and it is expected that a contract for installation of the system will be awarded in the coming weeks. Once contracts are in place, work will commence on the installation of the CCTV system, subject to planning permissions, wayleaves and any civil works required. It is expected that the system in Mullingar will become operational during 2008.
