Minister for Justice Helen McEntee understood to be planning to bring forward separate legislation for FRT
He said that separate legislation on FRT would be subjected to scrutiny by the Committee on Justice, and stakeholders would have the opportunity to express concerns or views
He said the situation where body-cams was “sort of held up in limbo” waiting for the row over FRT to be resolved “unsatisfactory” and it “makes perfect sense” to take the approach that has been adopted now. The Green Party has previously said it supports the original legislation to allow gardaí to use body-cams but did not support Mr Harris’s plan to amend this to include FRT.
Ms McEntee resumed her role as Minister for Justice at the start of the month and defended plans to bring in FRT at the time. She did not indicate whether she would continue Mr Harris’s bid to use the body-cam legislation to allow for its use. She said at the time that she looked forward to engaging “very closely” with Government colleagues, including the Green Party, on FRT.
