Having a CCTV system operating in so many communities is giving great peace of mind to people and providing great comfort, where it is working well, such as in Macroom. It is not available in every community, however. It is not in Ballincollig or Millstreet, for example. Questions have arisen concerning data protection in respect of CCTV systems as well. I wish to try to get a handle on how these data protection questions are going to be addressed to allow CCTV systems to become available to other communities wishing to install the technology. Residents in Lisheen Fields in Ballincollig, for example, recently captured footage of attempted break-ins and car thefts on the cameras on their houses and cars. There is a keen appetite to have the security of such a CCTV system installed in many other areas.
