Firm must pay €54k after sexual harassment

A COMPANY owned by a prominent Donegal businessman has been ordered to pay almost €54,000 to a female employee whom he repeatedly sexually harassed.

The Equality Tribunal ordered that a firm which operates a supermarket and petrol station in a Co Donegal town must pay €53,976 to a former staff member.

The tribunal found that the man, whose identity is known to the Irish Examiner, had repeatedly engaged in sexual harassment and victimisation of the woman.
