Foreign law enforcement agencies will be sanctioned to tap Irish calls and emails under a new statutory instrument signed into law by Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald.

While companies who refuse to comply with an intercept order could be brought before a private court.

The Irish Times reports that the tapping can only be used in cases where an investigation is underway and cannot be used at random.

The legislation took effect on Monday after being signed into law on November 26.
