The Minister will recall that when our respective parties engaged in confidence and supply talks in Trinity College in 2016, we agreed that there would be greater investment by the Government in CCTV throughout the country. It is extremely important for the Government to be fully committed to this. Just as criminals use technology to advance their criminality, law-abiding people and the State's law enforcement agencies should use technology to ensure criminals are caught when they carry out their criminality. What is being done? How much money is being spent on CCTV? I ask the Minister to update the House on the Government's proposals.
