New security protocols, including colour-coded lanyards and hard cards, were implemented in Government Buildings following a security breach. The changes aim to distinguish between various groups, with designated colours for TDs, military, contractors, and political staff. High-tech cameras are in place, but without facial recognition technology due to legal limitations. Staff express mixed feelings about the lanyards and the way they are managed, leading to some discontent among members who feel the measures are unnecessarily complicated. Overall, the primary goal is to improve security in a sensitive governmental environment.
The idea of new hard cards and colour-coded lanyards arose from a major security review... following a breach of Leinster House two years ago by an intruder.
High-tech cameras can zoom in on individuals, hence the reason for colour-coding, although there is no facial recognition technology because no legal basis for it exists yet.
