I am informed by the Garda authorities that a Garda operated and maintained town centre CCTV system is operational in Ennis and is monitored on a 24-hour basis by An Garda Síochána. Under the Community Based CCTV Scheme administered by my Department, capital funding of almost €100,000 has been approved for the installation of a scheme in Ennis with matching funding being provided by the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. This scheme, which will cover the Cloughleigh estate, has recently been approved by the local Joint Policing Committee and installation is expected to commence later this year.
