IMO dismissal case settled

Maria Murphy, the director of communications at the Irish Medical Organisation, has settled High Court proceedings brought following her purported dismissal.

Following the settlement, the IMO confirmed Ms Murphy has left and is no longer its employee.

Earlier this month, Ms Murphy, who worked with the IMO for 26 years, initiated her court action against the IMO after she was told she was being dismissed for alleged breach of contract. She denied that claim.
