Donna McGettigan (SF), Clare

A number of constituents have raised concerns with me about the CCTV camera system in Shannon Town Park. Despite a number of antisocial behaviour incidents, the cameras are not operational. Under Part 5 of the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Act, which was signed into law in 2023, a code of practice for CCTV was to be drawn up. Almost two years later, however, the code has not been drawn up and Part 5 of the Act has not commenced. Will the Minister for justice, Deputy O’Callaghan, speed up the commencement of Part 5 of the Act? When did he last liaise with the Garda Commissioner on this and when does he plan to do so again? Can we be assured that the Part 5 will be commenced urgently when the code of practice is drawn up?
