Worker must take children’s pictures off social media

An employee in an Enable Ireland disability centre has been ordered to remove from social media pictures of children allegedly posted without her employer’s or the parents’ permission.

Circuit Court President Mr Justice Raymond Groarke granted Enable Ireland Disability Services Ltd permanent injunctions against Caroline Sheehan, who works at one of its centres at Sandymount Avenue, Sandymount, Dublin.

The court heard Enable Ireland became aware last month that the information co-ordinator Ms Sheehan had posted pictures of children from the centre on her Twitter account.

Barrister Mary Fay told Judge Groarke, who last week granted interim injunctions including an order directing the removal of photographs, some pictures had since been removed, but some were still online.

The judge enforced the interim injunctions and granted permanent orders restraining Ms Sheehan from attending or entering the Sandymount centre.
