Civil liberties groups raise concern around Limerick taser pilot
•
The use of Tasers by Gardaí is set to expand to Limerick in the coming months after a pilot programme in Dublin, and Waterford was extended until the end of the year.
But civil liberties groups have raised concerns, warning that Tasers could fundamentally change policing in Ireland and may not always be the safest response, particularly during mental health crises. To discuss the issue, Emily Williams, Policing and Justice Policy Officer with the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, joined Limerick Today.
