I am informed by the Garda authorities that the four Garda stations listed below currently have a fully commissioned and operational internal audio/visual CCTV system installed in public and custody areas.
Station | No. of cameras |
---|---|
Bridewell Prison | 31 |
Store Street | 10 |
Pearse Street | 11 |
Letterkenny | 10 |
Work in relation to the installation of CCTV is currently ongoing in the following stations:
- Irishtown
- Ballymun
- Finglas
- Leixlip
- Navan
- Ronanstown
- Castlerea
- Carrickmacross
It is proposed that further stations will be fitted out with CCTV cameras. This is a programme which will be undertaken in the light of operational requirements and the availability of financial resources.
