Fine Gael is tabling a Bill that would remove some barriers to installing more CCTV cameras around Dublin. Speaking on Newstalk Breakfast this morning, James Geoghegan, Fine Gael TD for Dublin Bay South would be helpful in areas that have “a high prevalence of crime” along with aiding Garda Investigations.

Dublin has one of the lowest levels of CCTV cameras in Europe with just over 200 cameras operated by An Garda Síochána. So, is it time to follow in the footsteps of other European cities?

For more on this, Ciara is joined by Declan Power, Security and Defense Analyst and Dr Elizabeth Farries, Director at UCD Centre for Digital Policy.
