The Deputy will appreciate that the Garda Commissioner is responsible for the provision of equipment for An Garda Síochána and I, as Minister, have no direct role in the matter.

I have been informed by the Garda authorities that an internal working group has been established to examine the issue of body cameras and, if appropriate, to develop a relevant business case which will include the identification of all associated costs.
