Manager of IT office uses whistleblower legislation in case

Whistleblower legislation was used by the manager of an IT office to restrain her employers from dismissing her or stopping her pay, following her disclosures to the Texas head office about health and safety concerns.

Catherine Kelly brought the interim injunction application through senior counsel Ercus Stewart against AlienVault Ireland Ltd and AlienVault Inc, an IT security company.

Judge Seán Ó Donnabháin heard submissions from Mr Stewart, counsel for Ms Kelly, and from Mary Paul Guinness on behalf of the respondent company.
