Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions

Security and Protocol Issues: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission

5:55 pm

Mr. Simon O'Brien:

The answer to that is "No". We would not normally conduct covert operations. In fact, the way we proceed with our investigations is to ensure that, mostly at an early stage, people know that an investigation has commenced. It is not permitted for us in law to undertake those particular operations on a regular basis.
