CCTV system to be extended to illegal dumping sites

The use of covert cameras is to be extended to more illegal dumping blackspots in Kerry in the hope of providing conviction-securing evidence.

A CCTV surveillance system has recently been trialled by Kerry County Council at remote dumping sites and early indications are positive, according to the council.

The number of cameras at blackspots will be increased from two to four, with a further three cameras to be placed at the bottle bank network.
