It is not the practice and it would be contrary to the public interest to make public comment on the details of Garda surveillance procedures and practices, including associated surveillance equipment. However, the Garda authorities have informed me that the Garda organisation has access to any equipment necessary to operational personnel in the investigation and detection of crime and that such equipment is subject to continual review.
