The President of the Garda Representative Association says recent controversies have further undermined the morale of Gardai working on the frontline.
The GRA say they understand that the recording is similar to that used by the fire and ambulance control rooms, and is used for the same purposes, namely for clarity of what was said and for accountability.
The statement issued by GRA President John Parker says they await the report from the Commission of Inquiry to establish whether or not other lines in garda stations were recorded and in the interim, they do not believe further speculation is helpful.
The Association says it's raised the issue with Garda management.
And the GRA says the recent controversies have further undermined morale of Gardai working at the frontline of policing.
