Kfm recently reported how it has been alleged that dashcams installed in cabs of fire service appliances in Wicklow have been recording conversations without fire fighters being aware.
Dashcams at the centre of secret recording allegations in some fire appliances operated by Wicklow County Council are used in one appliance in Kildare.
The council stressed, however, that it "is not currently in active use and has not been accessed at any time".
Kfm recently reported how it has been alleged that dashcams installed in cabs of fire service appliances in Wicklow, some of which serve Kildare, have been recording conversations without fire fighters being aware.
Wicklow County Council has confirmed to Kfm that it is "considering issues raised by Fire Fighters and SIPTU with regard to the installation and operation of Dashcams in a number of Fire Appliances".
It is understood that members of Wicklow’s retained fire service reportedly became aware of the issue when recorded conversations were used as part of an inquiry into an unrelated internal issue.
It is understood that up to 100 members of the Retained Fire Service in Wicklow are considering lodging complaints about their employer under data protection legislation.
