Moyross group warns CCTV monitoring service faces funding gap

The Moyross Partners Group says the lack of permanent funding threatens Limerick’s CCTV monitoring service, putting public safety at risk.

In a statement to the media, the group expressed “deep concern and frustration” over uncertainty surrounding the service’s future, noting that approximately €660,000 is required for 2027. They argue that without this funding, hundreds of cameras would no longer be monitored, depriving An Garda Síochána of a key investigative resource.

The partners highlighted Limerick’s recent history of serious violence, criminality and public disorder, referencing the Fitzgerald Report and subsequent regeneration response that identified the CCTV service as essential for deterrence, investigations and community reassurance.

With the city preparing to host thousands of visitors for the 2027 Ryder Cup, the group warned that promoting Limerick as a safe, vibrant destination while allowing the service to collapse sends a contradictory message.

The Moyross Partners Group is calling on every TD, Senator and elected representative in Limerick to press the Government for an immediate, permanent funding arrangement, stating that public safety must be non‑negotiable.
