Gardaí get power to use facial recognition in major crime and missing person investigations

Gardaí will be able to use facial images and other biometric technologies to investigate serious criminal offences and missing persons cases under new legislation published today.

www.independent.ie

''Gardaí will be able to use facial images and other biometric technologies to investigate serious criminal offences and missing persons cases under new legislation published today.
The Department of Justice has argued the introduction of biometric analysis will save gardaí “thousands of vital work hours” as they will no longer have to spend “months and months trawling through CCTV footage, or footage captured on phones or from passers-by”.

Minister Jim O’Callaghan secures Government approval to publish legislation to enable Gardaí use biometric recognition technologies.

www.gov.ie

• From: Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration
• Published on: 11 December 2025
• ''The Garda Síochána (Recording Devices) (Amendment) Bill 2025 will allow for the use of biometric recognition technologies as a tool to process evidence in serious criminal investigations, matters relating to State security, and for missing persons cases
• Technology will free up Garda time, while being controlled by strict safeguards''

Daniel Kinahan arrested in Dubai over serious organised crime

Kinahan, in his 40s, was arrested in Dubai on foot of an arrest warrant issued by the Irish courts.

www.bbc.com

April 17, 2026
''Suspected crime boss Daniel Kinahan has been arrested in the United Arab Emirates in relation to alleged serious organised crime offences.

Kinahan, aged in his 40s, was arrested in Dubai over a warrant issued by the Irish courts, Irish national broadcaster RTÉ has reported.

The US government imposed sanctions on him in April 2022 after he and other members of his family were identified as leaders of the Kinahan organised crime cartel.

Kinahan also had ties to the world of sport via his now defunct boxing management company MTK Global, which represented more than 100 boxers including Tyson Fury and Carl Frampton.''
