Teacher seeks to prevent transfer to another school

A Co Galway-based secondary school teacher has launched a High Court challenge against her proposed transfer from the school she has taught at for 17 years to another school.

The action has been brought by Dympna Mannion against Galway Roscommon Education Training Board’s decision to redeploy her from St Killian’s College, Ballinasloe to Merlin College in Galway City.

The court heard Ms Mannion believes she is being “forced out” of St Killians.
