79. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the proportion of the €1 million funding provided for in budget 2017 for community CCTV schemes which will be allocated to north County Dublin; when she expects this money to come into effect; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I am very conscious of the value that communities, especially rural communities, place on CCTV as a means of deterring crime and assisting in the detection of offenders.
The Deputy will be aware that the Programme for a Partnership Government commits to providing investment in CCTV systems and that I have secured €1 million in Budget 2017 to begin a new round of community CCTV schemes in line with the Programme. I expect to make an announcement in this context shortly.
