School in row over CCTV cameras in bathrooms

A Kildare school is at the centre of a dispute over CCTV cameras in the bathrooms.

It follows a walk out by students at Scoile Mhurie in Clane in protest over the installation fo the cameras in the school toilets.

The board of managment at the school is insisting that privacy is preserved.

Parents claim they were not informed of the decision which the school says is in response to vandalism.

Kildare Fine Gael Councillor Bernard Meld, a member of the school board, has said the cameras are staying.
