Government To Publish Bill Allowing Garda Use Of Biometric Technology.

The Government is to publish new legislation that will allow An Garda Síochána to use biometric recognition technologies, including facial image analysis, in the investigation of serious crime; matters relating to State security and missing persons cases.

The Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) (Amendment) Bill 2025 will provide a clear legal basis for the retrospective analysis of images and footage already in Garda possession, such as CCTV and mobile phone recordings. The technology will allow Gardaí to sort, filter and compare relevant images far more quickly than is currently possible.

This move will save Gardaí thousands of work hours and speed up complex investigations where officers can currently spend months manually reviewing large volumes of footage. It is also expected to reduce the exposure of Garda members to distressing material, particularly in cases involving child sexual abuse and human trafficking.

The use of biometric analysis will be tightly controlled and operate only as an investigative tool, with no automated decision-making. All results will be reviewed by a trained Garda member, and use of the technology must be necessary and proportionate in each case.

The Bill also provides for a statutory Code of Practice, to be drafted by An Garda Síochána in consultation with stakeholders and approved by the Oireachtas. The Code will set out detailed safeguards, including strict data protection and human rights standards, and will be published to ensure transparency.

The Government has separately approved the drafting of a General Scheme to provide for retrospective and live biometric identification, in line with the EU AI Act, including for use in missing persons investigations and in protecting the security of the State and protecting those at risk.

Merry Christmas To Me.

Merry Christmas To Me.

Merry Christmas To Me.

Today I took some paper from the closet,
And wrapped the wedding ring you left behind,
And I addressed it to the man who vowed to love you,
And on the little card, I wrote these words inside.

Chorus.
Merry Christmas to me,
Just one gift beneath my tree,
For the fool who let you leave,
Merry Christmas to me.

Then I sat down in my chair and thought about you,
About the many reasons why you’re gone,
And I opened up the present that I gave to me,
And realized how much it hurts to be alone.

Chorus.

I’m the fool who let you leave,
Merry Christmas to me.
