Dr Ali Selim awarded €7.5k for unfair dismissal from Trinity College Dublin

A leading figure in Ireland’s Muslim community has been awarded €7,500 by the Labour Court after it ruled he was unfairly dismissed by Trinity College Dublin from his role as a part-time lecturer in Arabic.

Ali Selim, who is also spokesman for the Islamic Cultural Centre in Clonskeagh, had appealed the level of compensation awarded by the Workplace Relations Commission in an earlier unfair dismissal action he had taken.
