Tony Gregory

Question:

81 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Justice if frequencies used by the various Garda drug units can be monitored on cheap transistor radios; and if so, if more sophisticated scrambled radio equipment can be made available to these units as a matter of urgency. [5955/96]

Minister for Justice (Mrs. Owen)

I have been advised by the Garda authorities that for reasons of security and crime prevention they would not consider it appropriate to make public any information concerning Garda radio frequencies.
