Former TG4 star withdraws unfair dismissal claim

A FORMER actress with the Irish-language soap series Ros na Rún has withdrawn a claim for unfair dismissal against the programme’s makers.

Actress Mairéad Ní Ghallchóir had initiated the case against Tyrone Productions after her character, Angela Uí Dhireáin, was written out of the popular TG4 soap last year.

A planned hearing of the case before the Employment Appeals Tribunal was adjourned yesterday without hearing any evidence after the tribunal was informed both sides were in private talks about resolving the matter.
