QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor, TD

To ask the Manager to present an update on the operation of CCTV in the Tallaght area and in reporting, will he confirm, if there are any plans to extend the system including coverage of Glenview Lodge, operated by Tallaght Welfare Society, which has been the subject of crime in the past and will he make a statement.

REPLY:

There are 15 CCTV cameras in situ in west Tallaght.  These are divided between three schemes i.e. Killinarden, Brookfield/Fettercairn and Jobstown /Glenshane.  The Gardaí at Tallaght also operate an extensive CCTV scheme across Tallaght Town Centre area which is monitored at Tallaght Garda Station.  The Gardai will support any extension of CCTV schemes set up and run in compliance with Garda policy.
