Tribunal told PR firm ‘bullied’ woman out of job

A PUBLIC relations firm run by TV and radio presenter Anton Savage has been accused of bullying an employee out of her job.

Karagh Fox, from Moate, Co Westmeath, claims she was constructively dismissed from her position as a consultant with Mr Savage’s company — The Communications Clinic — after being repeatedly belittled and humiliated by senior staff member Ruth Hickey in front of her colleagues.

She also accused Mr Savage, the company’s managing director, of “interrogating” her and excusing Ms Hickey’s bullying behaviour after Ms Fox made a formal complaint against her.
