Not to be confused with the Garda phone recordings scandal, revealed in 2014.
On 18 December 1982, Irish Times security correspondent Peter Murtagh broke the news that the telephone of Bruce Arnold and Geraldine Kennedy had been tapped officially with warrants signed by former Minister for Justice Seán Doherty.[1] This was revealed after the November 1982 elections which the outgoing government had lost.[1]
Incoming Minister for Justice Michael Noonan ordered an investigation and on 20 January 1983 announced findings that the previous Fianna Fáil government had authorised illegal phone tapping of the journalists Geraldine Kennedy, Bruce Arnold[2][3][4] and Vincent Browne.[1][5] Seán Doherty signed warrants for the taps while Minister for Justice.[1] Normally phone tapping was used to investigate serious crime or threats to the security of the state but the reverse happened in this case, Minister Noonan announced.[1]
