A procurement process to acquire body-worn cameras for gardai is to begin after being approved by the Government.
Justice Minister Helen McEntee secured Cabinet approval to progress the current Garda Siochana (Recording Devices) Bill 2022 in the Oireachtas as a priority in the coming weeks.
The cameras being procured will have facial recognition software, pending this technology being legislated for in a separate Bill, also approved by Cabinet on Tuesday.
