I was a guest on George Hook’s drivetime show on Newstalk today, to discuss the subject of CCTV cameras following the recent press reports of a UK policeman’s claims that CCTV investment has been a waste of money. My input was to talk about the success of the investment we’ve seen in Letterkenny, and to highlight what the system is used for.

On Monday night, I was a member of the audience for UTV’s “Late and Live” show. I was there
to discuss Road Safety and young drivers, after being recommended by blogger Niall O’Keefe. I was very happy with how it went; it was my first time in a TV studio, and the debate went well. I was able to make a few of the points that visitors to this website will be well versed in; the need for young drivers to take responsibility for improving our reputations, by standing up and refusing to accept dangerous driving.

If I can track down a digital copy of the show, I’ll get it online somewhere.
