I appreciate that. Deputy Ardagh raised the issue of CCTV cameras and what she correctly described as the low figure in terms of provision. In my home town of Bray, there is an outdated analogue CCTV system. The superintendent has told me numerous times that he has put in a funding application to the Department to have it upgraded to a digital system. He has hit a brick well with those requests. I am hearing that similar requests have come in from a number of areas. I am not sure whether those applications go into the Department of justice or the Department of public expenditure. How many such applications for an upgrade to CCTV systems are currently in process? I am told the coverage and quality the Garda can get on those cameras is hit and miss. It is deeply concerning. Is there any information on those applications, including where they go to and so on?
