Garda body worn cameras are set to be rolled out in Limerick after they were successfully launched in Dublin

The Minister will update her Cabinet colleagues on the Garda response to the rioting seen in Dublin last Thursday

The Minister for Further and Higher Education says legislation will be passed swiftly to provide every member of the force with a body-cam.

Body cameras are a small, lightweight camera that is visibly worn by a gardaí.

Garda Representative Association president Brendan O’Connor said a pilot programme should not be delayed over the “sidebar issue” of facial recognition

Her comments come in the wake of an assault of a garda who suffered a serious bite injury to his finger and hand after responding to a dangerous driving incident

Two gardaí were hospitalised after they were assaulted in the area during the early hours of Monday
