An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (18 Apr 2023)

Mattie McGrath: We also have concerns about the same issue. Yesterday, the Tánaiste said he supported it. This is a step too far. We are supporting bodycams for An Garda Síochána, but we have concerns and issues about facial recognition and it needs to be debated and not by way of sticking it in as an amendment at this stage in the legislation, so we are opposing it.
