An Garda Síochána is extending its taser pilot programme for a further six months and expanding it to additional areas, according to multiple reports. The programme began in Dublin in December under a pilot scheme for selected officers, and the latest figures show tasers have been used 15 times since launch. The extension runs until the end of 2026. Several outlets also report that the pilot is being expanded to the Limerick Division. Garda training and authorisation under the pilot has progressed, with one report stating that 167 gardaí have completed training and have been issued with tasers. Another outlet adds that there have been no reports of serious injuries to either the people involved or to gardaí following taser use during the pilot period. The Garda Commissioner’s approach and operational details beyond the training, deployment, and reported outcomes are not specified across the sources, but the overall direction is consistent: taser testing continues beyond the initial period and the scheme broadens to cover further divisions.
