## Resource

Gardaí are pushing for new powers to access private CCTV footage — from shopping centers to stadiums — with approval from a superintendent for up to 72 hours, or a court order for longer. This follows disputes in West Cork where community cameras were shut down, prompting a nationwide code to clarify control and usage. But the Irish Council for Civil Liberties warns it could erode privacy, especially with facial recognition, demanding strict proof of necessity. Gardaí counter that this complements existing 120 public CCTV schemes, vital for crime-fighting and prosecutions.
