MOTION NO. 9

MOTION: Councillor Alan Edge

Is there any update as regards CCTV requested in Dodder Valley Park for N81 underpass? ASB continues to be an issue for park users and residents.

REPORT:

As previously reported CCTV cameras for the monitoring or policing of Anti Social Behaviour need to be authorised by the Garda Commissioner as required under under Section 38(3)(c) of the Garda Síochána Act, 2005.

Once a budget is identified, requests for the installation of new CCTV cameras can be assessed and approved by the South Dublin County Council Joint Policing Committee as being part of the Community Based CCTV scheme. The JPC can then formally seek authorisation from the Garda Commissioner under Section 38(3)(c) of the Act.
