Medic filmed colleague in toilet

An ambulance paramedic who admitted recording a female colleague in the staff toilet for his own pleasure has avoided a criminal conviction after a judge was told how he has put his life in danger saving the lives of others.

Robert Murphy, aged 51, of Lissanalta Grove, Dooradoyle, Limerick, placed an iPhone recording in video mode in a box of gloves with holes in it on the windowsill of the unisex toilet at the ambulance base in Tyone, Co Tipperary, on May 5 last year.

A complaint was made to gardaí after Murphy, described as a lead paramedic for the area, was confronted by a female colleague about the mobile phone recording.
