View answerGarda CCTV systems are planned and implemented on the basis of An Garda Síochána's identified operational requirements. Accordingly, decisions in relation to the introduction or extension of such systems are a matter for the Garda Commissioner. In that context, I am advised by the Garda authorities that while there are currently no plans to increase the number of Garda cameras in operation in Dublin city centre the position is being kept under on-going review.
