Psychologist bullied out of job, tribunal hears

AFTER a senior clinical psychologist wrote to the Minister for Health, his employers levelled eight allegations against him, the Employment Appeals Tribunal heard yesterday.

Patricia Doherty, deputy chief executive of Dublin disability service provider St Michael’s House, conceded that its list of complaints against Dr Mark Harrold could be seen as retaliation for his writing the letter.

Dr Harrold, who resigned his post in 2004, is taking a constructive dismissal case against the service provider, as he claims he was bullied out of his job.
