Bookmaker forced to pay €60k to sacked love triangle manager

LEADING bookmaker Boylesports has been forced to pay out €60,000 to a former middle manager who was involved in a complicated love triangle among its staff members.

Former district support manager with Boylesports, Kara Coyle, took a case for unfair dismissal against the bookmaker after she was selected for redundancy by a superior who was in a relationship with her former partner.

Boylesports claimed they were forced to reduce the number of people working as area mangers as a result of a sharp downturn in business in 2009.
