The Taoiseach Enda Kenny has asked the Minister for Justice to brief the Cabinet on claims that the offices of the Garda Ombusman Commission were bugged.
The Irish Times says Mr Kenny wants a full report from Alan Shatter after it emerged that GSOC called in security consultants to investigate its suspicions.
However, the Government was not informed and minister Shatter has demanded an explanation from GSOC.
Fianna Fáil's Justice spokesperson Niall Collins, says the security breach may have far reaching consequences.
