Irish documents on interception of communications and surveillance

I've uploaded a few documents recently which might be useful to anyone interested in issues of surveillance and interception of communications in Ireland.

First is the 2009/10 report of the Designated Judge responsible for monitoring the interception of communications and data retention:
Interception and Data Retention Annual Report 2009/10

Second is the 2009/10 report of the (different) Designated Judge responsible for monitoring covert surveillance:
Covert Surveillance Report 2009-10

Third is the Revenue manual setting out their understanding of their powers and duties in relation to covert surveillance, following the enactment of the Criminal Justice (Surveillance) Act 2009:
Revenue Surveillance Manual

(Many thanks to Mark Tighe for copies of the two judges' reports.)

  1. Hi TJ - let me know if you wish me to send you the Annual Report in the UK. In summary, the rise during the last year in requests to CSPs have been attributed to investigating commercial and sexual exploitation of children matters.
