I appreciate it. On the CCTV issue the Cathaoirleach raised, the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Act 2023 cleaned up some of the issues with data protection and so on. The local authorities have repeatedly said they do not have the budgets to install CCTV, so it appears the money has to come from either An Garda Síochána or the Department of justice. Is any provision being made in the budget for the roll-out of additional CCTV systems around the country? They are a critical tool for gardaí in carrying out their duties.
