The Community-based CCTV Scheme was launched in 2005 to provide financial assistance towards the capital costs of establishing a community CCTV system. To date two major rounds of this Scheme have been advertised, in 2005 and 2007. I am advised by Pobal, who administer the Scheme on behalf of my Department, that no application for Ballinrobe, Co. Mayo has been received. Any further plans for an extension of CCTV will be dependent on a number of factors, including the progression of the schemes already grant aided, the availability of funding and overall policy considerations.
