The surveillance technology referred to in the Deputy's question is not in use in any of my Department's offices.The information requested in relation to the agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for each agency. The Department will request the relevant bodies to reply directly to the Deputy with the information requested in respect of their organisations.
