A Donegal Councillor says there must be progress on resolving data protection issues with the community CCTV programme.
Cllr Patrick Mc Gowan says an application for CCTV in the Twin Towns was submitted almost two years ago, but its being delayed because of data protection issues which officials say have yet to be addressed at national level.
Last month, he was told the situation has become more acute as a result of GDPR.
