The Irish Prison Service (IPS) is denying that cameras found in staff locker rooms in two prisons recently were being used for covert surveillance.

Cameras were found by prison officers in the locker rooms in Castlerea and Cloverhill prisons in the last 10 days. In both instances, the officers present noted the camera was not operational at the time of discovery. In both cases, the cameras were concealed from general view.
