Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) Bill 2022: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2023-11-08
============================================================

Sharon Keogan (IND), Industrial and Commercial Panel

The current definition of "recording device" in the Bill is very broad, so all types of recording devices or systems used by An Garda Síochána should, at the very least, be specified in a relevant code of practice. Ideally, there should be a list of all the approved devices. In the absence of that, we should have a proper code of practice regarding the use of such devices. That applies in the context of both amendments Nos. 3 and 4.
