Lecturers ‘will not face action’

DISCIPLINARY action has been ruled out by a college against two lecturers who were defendants in a ground-breaking internet libel case.

Authorities at Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT) said there will not be any disciplinary action against the two lecturers.

A lecturer in the college, Terry Casey, initiated libel proceedings against two colleagues and GMIT over email attachments circulated by them to other staff in January 2005.
