Students walk out in protest at cameras mounted in school toilets

SOME 150 students at a Kildare school walked out in protest yesterday after CCTV cameras were installed in the toilets.

Students at Scoil Mhuire Community School in Clane made their protest yesterday at the school after returning from the mid-term break to find CCTV cameras mounted in the bathrooms in the school.

It is understood neither the students nor their parents were informed about the move which, according to a statement from the Department of Education, may be illegal.
