High Court finds use of CCTV evidence breached data rights in staff disciplinary investigation

A hospice employee has won a High Court appeal over the use of data from CCTV footage in a disciplinary investigation into unauthorised breaks and staff room graffiti saying "Kill all whites, ISIS is my life".

Cormac Doolin, a craftsman's mate at Our Lady's Hospice and Care Service in Harold's Cross, Dublin, had appealed a Circuit Court decision that his data rights were not breached as a result of the use of information from CCTV footage for a disciplinary investigation into the graffiti and into the taking of unauthorised breaks in the hospice staff room.
