Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions
Security and Protocol Issues: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission
6:35 pm
Mr. Simon O'Brien:
That is the particular stated opinion of the security company. Whether it is individuals or a state agency, that is the opinion of that particular report. There are capabilities out there that are in the hands of Government agencies and there are capabilities that are in the hands of private individuals. This is the world that we live in and kit that used to be only in the hands of Government agencies can be replicated. That is why debates such as this in an open public forum, while it is very important, just give more information to perhaps show that the technology race is lost.
