The reason for this is to reduce the number of assaults against officers.
Gardai in Dublin and Waterford will receive tasers today in a bid to reduce the number of assaults against officers.
128 uniform Gardai at Store Street, Pearse Street and Waterford stations have been specially trained in the use of the devices.
It's the first time frontline Gardai will get to use them, after previously being kept for use by the Armed Support and Emergency Response units.
Irish Council of Civil Liberties spokesperson Emily Williams says we need more information about how and when they'll be used:
