Would Dr. Coxon like to see a move towards more national CCTV? I do not believe the community model works. In my area in Dublin South-Central we have cameras that are run by the council, which seems to own the majority, but there is not a direct feed into the Garda station which might be four doors down. There should be a lot more interoperability between the State, whether it is the council or the Garda, in terms of CCTV in the State. What is the deputy commissioner's view on that?
