I am informed by the Garda authorities that there are 11 interview rooms in six Garda stations in the Carlow-Kildare Garda division which have been equipped with the specialised audio-video equipment for the recording of Garda questioning of detained persons.

I understand from the Garda authorities that a working group is examining the extension of these facilities to other Garda stations.
