Kildare South TD Martin Heydon says the role of Gardaí needs to be strengthened.
Introducing facial recognition technology for Gardaí would be seen as a "major deterrent" against further violence on the streets occurring.

Labour's Aodhán Ó Riordáin has said the proposal will not solve the issue of ongoing violence in Dublin.
Deputy Heydon says the legislation would not be a silver bullet:
