Stressed teacher awarded €18k
Catriona Dwan had to leave her job of 25 years at Thurles Community Training Centre.
The Employment Appeals Tribunal, which sat last year in Thurles, found that initially management and later the board failed in their duty towards Ms Dwan and allowed a situation to exist where an employee was out on work-related stress due to problems in the workplace. She has been awarded €18,000 for unfair dismissal.
