Political rows mean FRT will face pre-legislative scrutiny and further drafting before final legislation is published
At that point there had been an expectation that the legislation would come into force by the end of the year but that was before the political row over the controversial technology.
Proposals to allow for the use of FRT set alarm bells ringing among civil liberties campaigners. There were questions over the accuracy of FRT and fears of inbuilt ethnic, racial and gender biases. The Irish Council for Civil Liberties has been at the forefront of raising such concerns but politicians were also expressing reservations.
The Green Party publicly came out against this in April with a spokesman saying it believes the issue of facial recognition technology is “far too complex to be dealt with by way of an amendment to an existing Bill”. ] She is to seek approval to draft separate legislation, the Garda Síochána Bill 2023, with a view to bringing an outline of the law to Government in the autumn.
