I am advised by the Garda authorities that Dublin City Council operate and control a CCTV system in Dublin the 17 area. Local Gardaí have access this system at the Council's Darndale Office as and when required. In addition, Gardaí also have recourse to other CCTV footage for crime investigation from local business premises in the area. Garda CCTV schemes are planned and implemented on the basis of the Garda Commissioner's identified operational needs and priorities. I am informed by the Garda Authorities that there is currently no Garda operated CCTV system in the Dublin 17 area.
