Chinese company denies Leinster House cameras pose a 'threat to national security'

The company at the centre of the Leinster House security camera row has denied that its products pose a “threat to national security”.

It comes after concerns were raised by Green Party TD Patrick Costello and the Irish Council for Civil Liberties about the presence of Hikvision cameras throughout the Leinster House complex.

Mr Costello wrote to the House of the Oireachtas Commission and Ceann Comhairle Sean Ó Fearghaíl last week asking them to review the use of the cameras.
