As the Deputy will appreciate, it is the Garda Commissioner who is responsible for decisions in relation to the provision and allocation of Garda equipment and resources, including the installation of CCTV in custody areas in Garda stations. I, as Minister, have no direct role in that matter.

I have asked the Garda Commissioner for the specific information requested and when it is received I will write directly to the Deputy.
