Clare County Council is seeking public input on installing CCTV cameras in Tulla and Kilrush to address illegal littering and dumping. The cameras would be placed in key public areas and used for enforcement of the Litter Pollution Act, 1997. The council states the cameras will operate for an initial eight-week trial period, subject to review. The initiative is intended to follow the Code of Practice for the Operation of CCTV for the Purposes of Prevention, Detection and Prosecution of Litter Offences. Community groups in both villages have expressed optimism about the cameras, viewing them as a positive step for tackling ongoing dumping problems. The proposal follows new regulations that allow local authorities to use CCTV and drone footage for prosecutions related to illegal dumping and fly-tipping.
"We propose to install and operate CCTV cameras for the sole primary purpose of preventing litter and dumping and enforcement of the Litter Pollution Act, 1997."
"This initiative will adhere to the Code of Practice for the Operation of CCTV for the Purposes of Prevention, Detection and Prosecution of Litter Offences"
"Proposed CCTV will operate at these locations for an initial period of eight weeks, subject to review."
"This has been a long time in the pipeline, there are many motions that have been put down by numerous local authorities to adopt technology that will allow us to catch the perpetrators in terms of illegal dumping, dog pooing, all this is now than"
