Josepha Madigan (FG), Dublin Rathdown

I will bring the matters the Senator has raised, particularly his comments on a more expeditious application process, to the attention of the Minister for Justice. I note what he said about the 70% of crimes being prevented, or certainly their prevention being assisted, by the use of CCTV. I also note what he said about the fact that €1 million was allocated and that only €750,000 has been approved. I cannot confirm here whether or not all those comments are correct but I will bring that information back to the Minister for Justice. The fact that €45,000 has been given to Monaghan town and approved by the Department of Justice and the fact that €25,000 was paid to Monaghan County Council last July should be of assistance to the Senator in bringing this matter forward.
