I intend to publish the Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill, previously called the Digital Recordings Bill, shortly.  This important Bill makes provision for Garda powers to use modern digital technology including body worn cameras, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and CCTV.  It is my intention that the Bill will be enacted by the Oireachtas later this year and that body worn cameras will be deployed shortly thereafter.
