Community groups attempting to get CCTV security camera systems in operation were becoming increasingly frustrated by the “staggering bureaucracy” involved, a meeting of the Joint Policing Committee for Tipperary was told.
Public representatives told Chief Superintendent Derek Smart that people trying to get the systems up and running in towns and villages throughout Tipperary were very annoyed at the level of administration and layers of bureaucracy involved.

The meeting was told that issues that held up schemes in Littleton and Fethard had been resolved and both schemes were ready to go ahead.
