Sheila Terry (Fine Gael)

The Senator is unreasonable. The Labour Party's amendment is a good one. Provision of CCTV assists the fight against crime. We have seen on "Crimeline" that it is of great assistance in apprehending a person. Some day there may be some undesirables passing through Castlecoote and it might come in handy.

I agree that CCTV is not relevant to every pub in the country, but I agree with Senator Derek McDowell that in the event of a case going to court or where a pub has had problems in this regard the judge should be able to insist that the pub install CCTV.
