TD's concern 'heightened' over Shatter account

Justice Minister Alan Shatter’s account of a suspected surveillance operation at the Garda Ombudsman’s offices differs considerably from a report he was given on the security concerns, it has been claimed.

The head of a parliamentary committee, which is probing the handling of allegations of a bugging scandal at the watchdog’s headquarters, has said he is concerned about what the minister knew and what he said.
