I met with the Garda Commissioner in recent weeks, and we discussed if a similar scheme could be operated here. Any such proposal obviously brings data protection issues into play and we would need to be sure that such a scheme, if introduced, would be legally sound and robust.

The Commissioner has undertaken to explore the possibility with his data protection and legal experts. 

As to the question of legislating for a register, I will look at that when the Commissioner has had the opportunity to consider how such a scheme might operate in this jurisdiction.
