My understanding is that they are legal to own but not legal to use

Pulse has been the biggest joke ever?Computer consultants cost Garda €30m a year
Sunday, June 28, 2009 - By Ian Kehoe and John Burke
The government is paying €30 million a year to IT firms involved in maintaining the Garda computer networks.
Confidential documents seen by The Sunday Business Post show that the state is spending between €14million and €15 million a year maintaining and improving the Garda Pulse system, which is only operational in half of all Garda stations some 15 years after it was launched.
The €30 million consultancy bill is on top of the cost of the force’s internal IT department. BearingPoint , Microsoft Ireland Operations, Deloitte, Vantage Resources, Siemens, Fujitsu, Motorola and Computer Associates have all received consultancy contracts from the Garda in recent years, according to internal documents.
However, the high costs have become a concern for government, and the Garda Siochána are seeking to renegotiate a number of their long-term contracts.
The authorities have yet to secure a reduction in any of the contracts, which have fixed terms.
Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks, as the force comes under mounting pressure from government to reduce costs in light of the poor public finances.
