Former cab firm chief claims she was fired unfairly

The wife of rogue financier, Breifne O’Brien, has taken a case for unfair dismissal against the Dublin taxi firm which the couple once owned.

Fiona Nagle appeared before the Employment Appeals Tribunal to claim she was wrongly fired as chief executive from Blackrock Cabs in 2009.

The tribunal heard that Ms Nagle, who once ran her own PR and event management company, has been actively seeking work in recent years through Fás and other job schemes.
