The Government will approve the use of body cameras for Gardaí this morning.
Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan will ask his cabinet colleagues for approval to draft a bill to make it legal for the Gardaí to wear body cameras.
The Garda Commissioner previously said they might be ruled out because of the potential high cost.
The Government is considering the impact they would have on the right to privacy when drafting new laws.
The Data Protection Commissioner is also expected to have input on the bill that the department hopes to have drafted by the end of the year.
