MEETING OF COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, March 13, 2006

QUESTION No. 24

QUESTION: Councillor F. McCarthy

"To ask the Manager to indicate the frequency with which the Council forwards CCTV footage to Gardaí identifying breaches of 3 ton limit areas within the county?"

REPLY:

An Garda Siochana are the agency responsible for enforcement of 3-tonne limits where these have been introduced, and have not requested access to CCTV footage for this purpose. It should be noted, however, that the Council's CCTV cameras are used to monitor traffic conditions and are neither intended nor appropriate for use as an enforcement mechanism, nor does the existing CCTV network extend to all three-tonne limit areas in the County.
