Gardai found 'bugging' device in Continuity IRA suspects house

A device capable of detecting garda radio frequencies was discovered during the search of the home of a suspected Continuity IRA member, the Special Criminal Court heard today.

Giving evidence in the trial of seven men who were arrested when a large party of gardai raided a house in Limerick, Sergeant John Delaney said the device found at the home of the accused Des Long was capable of detecting garda two-way radios within a certain range.
