Clare's most senior Garda has insisted no recordings were ever made of phone calls between prisoners and solicitors at Ennis Garda Station.
The government has set up a commission of investigation following revelations of secret recording of phone calls at Garda Stations – including Clare's Divisional Headquarters in Ennis, amid fears that court cases or previous convictions could now be challenged.
Clare's Chief Superintendent says he was well aware of that recording were made between the 1980's and late last year, but he's satisfied that calls were only recorded to the communications room in Ennis, and never to other lines including offices, or detention rooms.
In an interview to be broadcast on Clare FM's Morning Focus, John Kerin says he doesn't believe the revelations regarding taped phone calls will jeopardise any court proceedings in Clare.
