CCTV on Traveller sites to cost €300k

CLARE County Council is to spend almost €300,000 on providing CCTV on three Traveller accommodation sites — almost three times the original estimate.

Earlier this year, the local authority said it would cost an estimated €100,000 to install CCTV at Ashline and Beechpark in Ennis, and at Ballymurtagh in Shannon.

At each site, six cameras are to be erected on 25ft high poles.
