I thank Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Carey for coming in. It is important to hear from the IFA for the purpose of what this committee is trying to do. We are trying to formulate a report on community policing and rural crime.

The CCTV scheme is a relatively new scheme that has been introduced by the Department of Justice and Equality. Many local community groups I have spoken to have found it complex to apply for funding under the scheme. What is the IFA's assessment of the scheme and whether it needs to be tweaked?
