Action by employee accused of sexual harassment in National Museum adjourned to 2019

A High Court challenge brought by a senior employee of the National Museum of Ireland against a decision to suspend him following complaints of sexual harassment won't be heard until the new year.

The action has been brought by Dr Andrew Halpin who has brought a number of proceedings arising out of a decision to suspend him from his position as Assistant Keeper of Irish Antiquities following media reports in February 2017 of alleged sexual harassment.
