Our reporter reveals the power of Garda CCTV

Two gardaí sit in front of a wall of 40 screens, each showing a different window on a weekday morning in Cork.

Behind them is a larger room, with four desks where screens relay information from across the county.

The windowless Garda Communications Centre, located on a top floor within the Anglesea St station in Cork’s city centre is the nerve centre of the force’s operations in Cork, where at any given time six gardaí monitor CCTV feeds, emergency calls and all information being fed into their network.
