A Longford Councillor is hoping that additional CCTV cameras might be funded from the assets of criminals seized in the county under new government plans.
Earlier this week Justice Minister Helen McEntee confirmed that under the community safety partnership pilot in the county, a fund will be established which will collate assets from criminals seized by CAB and can then be re-distributed through a special application process for designated projects.
