GSOC: We can’t rule out HQ was bugged

The Garda Ombudsman has said there was no evidence to suggest its headquarters were bugged but that it cannot definitively be ruled out.

Garda ombudsman commissioner Kieran FitzGerald said last night a “credible threat” to its security had been identified when screening of its offices was carried out last year.

However, he admitted there was no evidence to suggest surveillance took place.
