Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 October 2016
73. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the estimated cost of the roll-out of body cameras for all gardaí; if she has received such a request from the Garda Commissioner; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31445/16]
View answerThe 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.
