Thread: A TD claimed to have secretly photographed staff working at Leinster House to gather “evidence” some were not wearing masks.
During the same incident, another TD told a staff member asked to monitor public health compliance they were like the “morality police” in Iran.

In an email, one of the compliance staff made an official complaint asking if the matter should be notified to the Data Protection Commission (@DPCIreland).
TD had claimed to have surreptitiously photographed 16 staff, 14 of whom he said were not wearing masks.

A few days later, the official involved was told that “one particular Deputy” would be spoken to while letters would issue to two others.
They were told their “willingness to undertake these duties” was appreciated. The email was sent at 00:42.

Later that day, they wrote to say they were now withdrawing the complaint as an alternative method to address the matter had been identified.

In May, another secret photograph claim (it’s not clear if it’s the same one) was made relating to staff going about their duties.
It was detailed in a complaint where a small group of TDs claimed they were being singled out for constantly flouting public health guidelines.
