The current system in operation around Athlone is from a previous generation.
Criminals who should have been caught, are walking free because of an out of date CCTV system in a midlands town.
Fianna Fáil councillor Aengus O' Rourke claims that, since the cameras were in stalled in Athlone 15 years ago, they have seen little to no investment, maintenance or extension.
Westmeath County Council have agreed to write to the Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee and Garda Commissioner Drew Harris calling on the Department to review the situation and modernise and enhance the system.
Councillor O' Rourke says Gardaí in Athlone are frustrated:
