North Cork towns to get new CCTV and increased surveillance

A new CCTV system is to be installed in a north Cork town while increased surveillance has been earmarked for another location, following grants administered by Cork County Council from a towns development fund.

The council is providing €26,000 to install CCTV cameras in Charleville, which will be monitored on a 24-hour basis by gardaí.

A further €15,665 is to be allocated to expand CCTV coverage in Fermoy, extending the existing system on Patrick St, MacCurtain St, and Cork Rd.
