Gardaí will back claims bugging was widespread, says White

TWO gardaí are willing to back claims that bugging was widespread within the Garda Siochána, it emerged last night.

Giving evidence at the Morris Tribunal, disgraced Detective Sergeant John White said two officers in Cork wanted to support his allegations that bugging was extensively used.

He told the tribunal bugging was not just confined to interview rooms, but used illegally in cars, apartments and telephones.
