Firm Steps Up Security Measures Date: Wednesday, December 12, 2007 Source: Belfast Telegraph

An extra 30 CCTV cameras have been fitted as part of the anti-terrorist security measures to protect Ireland's first Ikea store which opens in Belfast tomorrow. With the threat from dissident republicans as high as at any time in some parts of Northern Ireland, there will be 45 additional closed circuit surveillance cameras operating at the massive development. It is one of Ikea's flagship stores and a prime target for firebombers at Christmas. Police, including an officer who specialises in anti-terrorist measures, have been involved in talks with senior management. Apart from Ikea's own in-house team, other security staff are also being employed. Store manager Paul Reid (34) said: "We want to make sure we have high visibility... and safeguard ourselves against any potential happening." To read the full article please click on the link below.
