Mr. Eddie Downey:

From my point of view, it is about using the resources we have better. Obviously we also have to identify what is working out there and, as Mr. Bergin said, what is working in other jurisdictions and what we can bring back here. If we find something that works really well, we can see if we can get funding for that. The evidence about CCTV footage is anecdotal. The new road structure in this country is wonderful. I came through the port tunnel this morning and I got here before everybody else, which makes a change. However, that is also facilitating the reverse of that: criminals moving out into the countryside. They are using those arteries to get into these areas. If we had proper CCTV coverage on those roads, we might be able to identify more of these criminals and where they are working. It is a mix of small things that will give solutions. We have to build intelligence within the Garda to help us resolve that. Co-operation with the Garda is essential at all times and the co-operation we have had so far has been excellent.
