14 February 2025 — The Bar Council of Ireland and the Irish Council for Civil Liberties are delighted to invite you an event co-organised by the two organisations, 'Body-worn Cameras: Practice, Procedure and Policy Considerations'.
The event will take place on Tuesday 11 March in the Gaffney Room within the Distillery Building (145-151 Church Street, Dublin 7), with refreshments in the Sheds afterwards. Registration will begin at 4:15pm, with presentations and a discussion from 4:30pm to 6pm. The purpose of the event is to discuss the use of body-worn cameras, experiences from other jurisdictions and potential issues arising from their use.
The event will feature a panel discussion with Chief Superintendent Derek Smart, Digital Services & Innovation, An Garda Síochána and John Wadham, Associate at Doughty Street Chambers and Independent Expert on equality and human rights for the Council of Europe, the United Nations, and the Commonwealth Secretariat.
This event is a partnership with the Bar Council of Ireland and is being held as part of ICCL’s work promoting rights-based policing and procedural rights in light of the recent introduction of body-worn cameras. Speakers will explore An Garda Síochána’s code of practice on these cameras, experiences in other jurisdictions and considerations for practitioners in this jurisdiction.
