Civil Liberties & Fennelly Investigation

The Irish Council of Civil Liberties has called for the Fennelly investigation to be afforded a wider remit. The human rights lobby groups wants Justice Fennelly to bring Irish surveillance laws under increased scrutiny.

The ICCL said:

Moreover, since at least one other agency of the State (the Irish Prison Service) has since become the subject of public concern about the taping of telephone calls between prisoners and their legal representatives, the ICCL suggests that Mr Justice Fennelly be invited to review the adequacy of current law and practice in relation to the use of surveillance by all relevant agencies of the State.
