Investigation into mass recording of telephone calls in Garda stations found practice wasn't lawful
The investigation also found no criminal cases were significantly affected by the practice
The Fennelly Commission report which has been published this evening says continuing the recording of calls should now be put into legislation.
The Attorney General has come in for criticism for the level of alarm to the issue when it was uncovered in 2014.
In a statement the Government says the report reinforces its decision to undertake a root and branch review of Gardaí.
Social Protection Minister Leo Varadkar says it's reassuring that the report has found recordings were not misused.
