Question 492: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if his attention has been drawn to any form of monitoring or surveillance of a person (details supplied) in County Mayo; and if as an Irish citizen, this person has a right to privacy under Irish or international law.

For obvious reasons of security, it is not the practice and it would be contrary to the public interest to reveal whether or not any form of covert monitoring or surveillance by the Garda Síochána was or is being conducted in any particular instance. With respect to the issue of privacy, it would not be appropriate for me to seek to provide an interpretation of national or international law for any individual.
