Report on anomalies ‘wholly inaccurate’, says Verrimus

The British security firm which carried out a surveillance sweep at the Garda Ombudsman’s offices yesterday described reports regarding two of the three “technical anomalies” it detected as “wholly inaccurate”.

Verrimus issued a statement after the Irish Independent published what it described as “revelations”, in which it stated two of the anomalies could be innocently explained.

The story said an external wi-fi that was connected with a wi-fi device within GSOC was simply a coffee shop wi-fi located in a premises partly underneath the ombudsman’s offices.
