Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan will ask for approval to provide Gardai with body cameras to aid them in their day-to-day operations.
Bodycams are already a feature amongst police forces in a number of countries, but their use is not legal in Ireland yet. The new legislation would provide the legal framework for the introduction of bodycams nationwide.
Talks to discuss the new legislation will get underway today.
Do you think that Gardai should wear bodycams? Let us know in the comments below.
