Surveillance failure

DRUG dealing is commonplace despite community watch, volunteer and professional policing, CCTV motion detection, aircraft surveillance, intelligence-gathering, etc.

The drug dealers working from Limerick city, besides the city drug-dealing, are said to control trade in counties Limerick, Kerry, Clare and Tipperary.

This industry has grown seemingly regardless of any security apparatus. The same apparently is taking place in other places even though for several years our nearly every move may be tracked causing us to wonder about the return on surrendering our privacy.
