Fás blocked from sacking director

FÁS has been blocked by the High Court from taking any further steps to sack health and safety director Greg Craig and from making disparaging comments to the media about him.

Barrister Oisin Quinn SC told the court Mr Craig, of Greenlea Grove, Terenure, Dublin, had been made a scapegoat by Fás and was continually being offered up to the media.

Mr Quinn told Mr Justice Paul Gilligan his client had been told early last week that he was being dismissed following an internal investigation.
