Ambulance paramedic hid iPhone in toilet to record female colleagues

A HSE paramedic used his iPhone to spy on female colleagues in a staff toilet.

Robert Murphy, aged 51, of Lissanalta Grove, Dooradoyle, Limerick, has pleaded guilty to a charge of harassment, following the discovery of his iPhone in a unisex toilet at a HSE ambulance base at Tyone, Tipperary, on May 5 last year.

Nenagh District Court heard of how one of Murphy’s female colleagues found a box of gloves, with a number of holes punched in it, perched on a windowsill at the toilet. When she looked more closely she discovered Murphy’s iPhone, which was recording in video mode.
