Ex-gardaí claim they saw bugging

Two ex-gardaí have reportedly claimed they witnessed unauthorised bugging of witnesses’ homes and at other locations as far back as 1992.

According to RTÉ’s This Week programme, the former Cork-based gardaí made the admission to the Fennelly Commission and the claims have been forwarded by Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission.

The former garda and garda sergeant have reportedly claimed they encountered the alleged bugging while investigating a murder case.
