If the Minister does not mind, this is a little bit off the Estimate but it is related to it. I refer to the CCTV community scheme that was available for community groups throughout the country. This was in the previous Dáil term before the Minister's time in the Department of Justice. There was an issue around the protection of data. The Minister's Department was rolling out the funds for this through our justice and policing committees, JPCs, to local community groups. There was a reluctance between the local authorities and the Garda in terms of who would actually be the data holders. At the time, the direction from the Department of Justice was that responsibility rested with the local authority. Has that ever been resolved? Is that scheme still being rolled out from the Minister's Department?
