The expenses scandal brought this out coupled with MP's immunity from prosecution. CCTV is a tool of the government to raise very necessary revenue. On the basis we are now ruled by Brussells - why do we need so many MP's - is this not an area where we could make some huge savings by having a cull. Number plate recognition is just another tool to collect road fund tax and nothing else. The whole system needs overhauling as it clearly does not work. <a> TV HDREADY</a> The problem is that the Gov’s is not there to serve us but totally the reverse.

There are some plus points to CCTV but on the whole I do think that the Gov't is stealthly bringing in new methods to catch people out and thereby raise much needed revenue. Number plate recognition is already functioning to catch the motorist who has missed paying his road fund tax. Let us face up to the fact that we are here for the MP's and not as it is supposed to be. The latest expenses issue brought this out together with MP's view that they are beyond reproach and protected under antiquated laws. We need to cull the number of MP's - after all we are now run by Brussells so where is the need for this second very expensive tier of wastefull expense. <a>TV HDREADY</a> I believe that the whole system is completely upside down.

It is an invasion of our privacy as Irish citizens. This directive should not be initiated at all. It is enough to lose our privacy over our mobile phones. That was uncalled for, as is this directive. Whether to monitor European citizens to prevent crime in a "Minority Report"/futuristic-type way is totally unneccessary and I won't stand for it. I'm not a criminal and deserve respect and privacy, which I should enjoy without even having to think about it. I do not support this ridiculous notion. I do not agree with this website even asking me for my details here and I should be able to make an anonymous comment. I totally disagree with this directive.

There doesnt seem to be anything on their website. From reading the article above under the 'Data Retention Directive' it must be for a minimun of 6 months - as with all ISP's. But I also see that Ireland has 18 months (from Dec '06) to comply with this directive. So not sure what the current status is. Any feedback would be appreciated.
