Episode Details

Ireland has one of the lowest levels of CCTV use in Europe, but that’s set to change, with Garda security cameras expected to increase significantly in the coming years. Here in Clare, there have also been calls for greater use of CCTV to tackle anti-social behaviour and persistent illegal dumping. So, is Ireland too cautious when it comes to CCTV, or are concerns around privacy and GDPR justified? To discuss it further, Alan Morrissey was joined by members of Clare’s Local Community Safety Partnership, Newmarket-On-Fergus Fianna Fáil Councillor David Griffin and Clarecastle Sinn Féin Councillor Tommy Guilfoyle.
