Michael Collins (II), Cork South-West

I raised this issue on behalf of the people of Clonakilty and Dunmanway almost four months ago in the Dáil with the Minister for justice and I have had no proper answer back. Basically, the issue is that CCTV in both these towns was switched off in early July. As the Taoiseach knows, CCTV is vital in tackling crime. The Department of justice says it is not an issue for it and Cork County Council is saying it is not an issue for it, leaving it nobody's child. We are here again four months later. Councillor Daniel Sexton of Independent Ireland, who is in the Gallery, and I have been pushing for answers on this issue. Can the Taoiseach intervene and find out why CCTV in Clonakilty town and Dunmanway town was switched off and when it will be switched back on again?
