Lucinda Creighton: Yes.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Protocol Issues: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (12 Feb 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: It is like waiting for a ticking time-bomb. If Mr. O’Brien could share his clear thinking with the public and the Oireachtas it would pre-empt that and would avoid the potential for confusion, or worse, misleading the public. The other point I wish to raise is the confusion between the leak, which is an internal matter, which no doubt the commission will pursue, and the question of...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Protocol Issues: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (12 Feb 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: To clarify, in his opening remarks Mr. O’Brien said the firm indicated that this level of technology is only available to Government agencies, which would suggest that an individual could not have done it as an individual without the support of a Government agency.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Protocol Issues: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (12 Feb 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: Does Mr. O'Brien accept that the view of the specialist firm that he hired is that the technology is only available to Government agencies and therefore it is not duplicated by non-Government agencies?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Protocol Issues: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (12 Feb 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: The Minister said yesterday in his statement that there is no evidence that surveillance had taken place. Commissioner FitzGerald said on RTE’s “Prime Time” that with regard to the conference call facility specifically, the international experts that were hired stated that the chances of that particular software not being subject to surveillance were close to zero. Does...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Protocol Issues: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (12 Feb 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: I will ask two questions together. John Mooney, the journalist in question from The Sunday Timesexplicitly stated that certain events prompted the third security sweep. Deputy Mulherin alluded to that as well. That uncovered the external Wi-Fi shadow device. Could Mr. O’Brien confirm what those events were? On “Prime Time” Commissioner FitzGerald acknowledged that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Protocol Issues: Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (12 Feb 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: On a point of clarification, it is very hard to understand how Mr. O'Brien can say it was prior to the general security review, which had been contemplated two years earlier, and in the same breath refer repeatedly to information that was in the public domain and was being discussed and which was leaking out. It is a contradictory statement.

Order of Business (19 Feb 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: In light of the Government's announcement yesterday regarding a judicial inquiry into the surveillance of GSOC, will the Taoiseach commit to laying the terms of reference before the Dáil and Seanad, given that GSOC is accountable to the Oireachtas, and allow amendments to those terms of reference so we can have full confidence in that process and ensure the best possible outcome in terms...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Surveillance Issues: Minister for Justice and Equality (19 Feb 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: I thank the Minister for his patience. It has been a long hearing so far. When the chairman of GSOC came before the committee and was asked why he decided not to inform the Minister or the Garda Commissioner under section 80(5) or section 102 of the 2005 Act, he said that he believed it was the right thing to do at that time. The Minister does not seem to agree with that assessment by the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions: Security and Surveillance Issues: Minister for Justice and Equality (19 Feb 2014)

Lucinda Creighton: I am curious about the Rits report that was commissioned. I understand it was commissioned by the Department of Justice and Equality or the Minister. I am keen to hear a little more about how, when, why and what the tendering process was, if there was one, and how long Rits took to carry out the report. I am unclear on when it was commissioned and therefore I am unclear on how long the...
