The Community-based CCTV Scheme was first launched in 2005 to provide financial assistance towards the capital costs of establishing a community CCTV system. To date, two major rounds of the Scheme have been advertised, in 2005/2006 and 2007, under which 45 substantive schemes were approved for funding. The locations of these schemes are outlined in the table below:
| Athy | Letterkenny |
|---|---|
| Blackpool, Cork City | Limerick (5 Schemes) |
| Ballinasloe, Co. Galway | Longford |
| Ballymun (5 Schemes) | Mallow |
| Carrick-on-Suir | Manorhamilton |
| Cavan | Mullaghmatt |
| Clonmel | Navan |
| Clondalkin | New Ross |
| Corduff, Co. Dublin | Sligo (2 Schemes) |
| Drogheda (2 Schemes ) | Tallaght (3 Schemes) |
| Dublin City (3 Schemes) | Thurles |
| Dundalk | Tralee (2 Schemes) |
| Ennis | Tuam |
| Kilkenny | Waterford City ( 2 Schemes) |
| Killorglin |
The current position is that all available funding provided under the previous two rounds has been fully allocated and there are currently no plans to further extend the Scheme. However, the matter will continue to be kept under ongoing review in the context of overall policy considerations and the availability of funding.
