Labour Court rejects Kathy Clarke’s appeal over penalisation complaint

By Eimear Byrne

Labour Court ·

The Labour Court disallowed Kathy Clarke’s appeal and affirmed the decision not to uphold her penalisation complaint against St Mary’s College. The determination was dated 1 April 2019. The former school secretary said she suffered detriments after raising workplace safety, health or welfare concerns. The Court found that a November 2010 meeting concerned work assignments and management style, and that Clarke had not raised a safety, health or welfare issue. It found she had not performed a protected act under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005.
