Its a lot of tape that is being requested, Dublin bus people are notoriously lazy. The tape is stored on harddrives on each bus so a lot of legwork would be involved in gathering them up(each depo has 1 guy who does this AFAIK), if it was a member of the public asking, well, "its automatically wiped" its handy excuse. Especially if they dont ask for a specific bus.



You are talking about quite a few busses he could have got. Its feasible that one or two perhaps would have wiped when the harddrives reached capacity, but all of them?



Sounds suspect to me.



I know Paul in passing, he's a nice guy and every lead needs to be chased down.



If the Garda asked and no joy then thats all you can do. Can I ask was the footage requested by the garda or just a member of the public?I have relations in Dublin bus and there have been a number of cases where longer then this time period have passed by and the tape has been available.Its a lot of tape that is being requested, Dublin bus people are notoriously lazy.
