It is very important that people have an opportunity to examine where these data are going to be used. Deputy Costello has raised a real risk, particularly given the lack of training of garda personnel who have used and handled CCTV footage previously, which has been spoken about and widely reported, and is known. How can we be sure training will take place and footage will be handled properly in these cases? That needs to be laid out strongly in order that everybody has confidence that this information will be handled properly and the process will be carried out properly.
