The Irish Examiner has also learnt that commissioners with the Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission received indications two weeks ago that they would not be given an advance copy of the inquiry.

Retired judge John Cooke was appointed to look into the matter after a row over the claims erupted in February between GSOC and then-justice minister Alan Shatter.

Justice Cooke was asked to look at claims there were security breaches at GSOC’s HQ.

A British security firm’s sweep of GSOC’s offices found “three technical and electronic anomalies” or security breaches, the ombudsman has previously said. GSOC said there was no evidence of garda misconduct.

Mr Kenny said on Friday, while in the US on Government business, that the Cooke report had been received by his department.

His spokesman last night said Mr Kenny, after arriving home yesterday, would begin to give it consideration today.

However, it remains unclear if the Taoiseach will then bring the report before Cabinet tomorrow.

“It may need to be taken into consideration for more than 24 hours,” the spokesman added.

The issue though is expected to be discussed.

Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald’s spokesman said she would discuss the findings in the report with the Taoiseach and others today with a view to bringing the report to Cabinet “as soon as possible”.

Ms Fitzgerald expects there will be some form of discussion on the issue at Cabinet tomorrow, he said.

Fianna Fáil have already called for the speedy publication of the report since it was delivered to Government on Friday.

GSOC last night confirmed its commissioners did not receive an advance copy.

“Until we see it we can’t comment. We didn’t receive any advance copy,” a spokeswoman said.

Sources close to GSOC added: “There might have been one expected out of courtesy as it is specifically about GSOC. I don’t think the commissioners have a problem with it though. They met Justice Cooke two weeks ago and knew it was not going to happen.”
