Quarter of Dublin’s CCTV cameras out of action, city council confirms

One in four CCTV cameras in Dublin are not working — including all 14 in an anti-social black spot which was the scene of riots last summer.

Dublin City Council has confirmed 40 of its 166 monitoring devices are not operational.

While six of the 22 specific areas where the problems exist have been earmarked for 36 replacement cameras, repairs are “subject to funding”.
