THE CABINET WILL tomorrow see the draft of a new bill that will allow for the use of overt body-worn cameras by gardaí.
The Garda Síochána (Digital Recording) Bill will also include provisions governing the use of community-based CCTV systems.
The proposal for gardaí to use body-worn cameras was a recommendation made in the report of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland.
