New laws to allow the move to go ahead will be enacted by the Government within weeks. Justice Minister Heather Humphreys has confirmed the bodycams are being brought in.
She said: “The Garda Siochana (Recording Devices) Bill 2022 was published on August 4 last. “It will provide a legal basis for the deployment and use of body-worn cameras by An Garda Siochana.
