Moriarty phones bugged ?

Sunnyisland

From rte,
RTÉ has learned that gardaí were called in to investigate a suspected breach of security at the Moriarty Tribunal the week before its final report was published.
It is understood that the breach related to an incident involving the direct phone line used by Mr Justice Michael Moriarty.
The breach prompted a concern that the phone may have been tapped.
A team of technical experts from the gardaí conducted a sweep of the Tribunal office complex including the phone used by the Tribunal Chairman, other phones and technical equipment and checks throughout the building.
It is understood that no evidence of interference was found within the tribunal.
It is not clear whether a review of security already has been or may yet be extended to examine all the external access points to the phone system within the tribunal offices.
This could be done to allay any concerns about whether the security of the Moriarty Tribunal had been breached in any manner.
The gardaí and the Moriarty Tribunal have both declined to make any comment on the incident or the subsequent investigations.


This is getting more & more like the old haughey days,

If they were tapped, who ever was doing the tapping is probably still asleep now after listening to such boring tripe.

Before when I still used to watch RTE and Ann Doyle started about the tribunals I'd switch it off...
