  Mr. McDowell: I am informed by the Garda authorities that the Garda CCTV Advisory Committee has recommended a Garda CCTV scheme for Kilkenny. The Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform have sanctioned funding for CCTV Schemes. The CCTV budget allocation for 2007 is €7,514,000.00 which is divided between Garda Town Centre CCTV systems and Community Based CCTV systems. I am further informed that a decision is imminent on the preferred procurement process for the installation of the Garda CCTV scheme for Kilkenny. There is no individual financial allocation to any particular system.
