A “best practice” review of CCTV cameras at Leinster House will be undertaken following concerns being raised that they are being used to spy on behalf of China.

The Office of Public Works (OPW), which has responsibility for public buildings including the Leinster House complex, has said that in light of recent developments regarding CCTV, it is to review its policies.
