From 1 October 2012 the Private Security Authority demands a fee of up to €2,250 for a licensee to install CCTV cameras in private houses. Anybody who breaks the law, including householders, will incur a fine €3,000 and be committed to imprisonment for 13 months. Heretofore this service was readily provided by local electricians or technical people. When the Government came into office it said it would cut out red tape, bureaucracy and make it easier for small businesses to operate. Certainly the Private Security Authority is making life very difficult for small electrical firms. On a large turnover there is a large fee. This is a surcharge on small businesses. It is very difficult to run a small business in Ireland. The Government said it would reduce the number of quangos and organisations-----

Set up by the previous Government.

Indeed, and should not have set up many of those organisations.

Hindsight is a great thing.

Senator Leyden to continue, without interruption.

The Government assumed office on a promise and won the election under false pretences on many issues, including transparency in Government. Please do not raise the health centres because there is more to come out on that issue.

We are discussing health later. Has the Senator a question for the Leader? Senators are exciting me.

The Senator is easily excited.

Does Senator Leyden have a question for the Leader?

Yes. I ask the Leader to examine this point to ensure there is a reduction in charges. The licensing issue is fine but a person should not be charged €2,250 for a licence every two years to install small CCTV cameras in a private houses or businesses throughout the country. I had no expectation of the Government but the public had high expectations of the Government.

We cannot discuss that matter today.

It will go down in flames the same as the previous Coalition Government.
