Westport fails to meet Government criteria for CCTV installation

Westport DΡil Deputy Michael Ring has again raised the issue of having CCTV cameras installed in Westport - but the Justice Minister Dermot Ahern has clearly stated that the town has not met a number of qualifying criteria to get approval for the scheme.
Deputy Ring said the system was urgently needed in view of an increase in anti-social behaviour.  “CCTV systems have become necessary and have proven successful in curbing such activity. I will be contacting the Minister again to ask that funding be provided for CCTV for Westport.”
