Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions

Security and Protocol Issues: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission

5:55 pm

Mr. Simon O'Brien:

In terms of what we found on this particular security sweep, we had both external and internal threats. When I say "internal threats" one could possibly describe them all as external threats, if it is something from outside that is trying to connect to a Wi-Fi router inside our building. Not only did we look at and find some suspicious indications but we also asked very clear questions about what capability could be ranged against us in terms of mobile telephony. There are a number of aspects of that security sweep that we addressed. While these suspicious issues would have arisen, this was a full sweep of our building and it was a well-executed operation.
