What this means

  • This is a government bill sponsored by the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, currently making its way through the Oireachtas.[source]
  • The bill proposes changes to the rules around recording devices used by An Garda Siochana, Ireland's national police service.[source]
  • It has been the subject of 4 recorded votes in the Oireachtas, meaning TDs or Senators formally divided on proposed changes to its text.[source]
