Female employee pressured into filing suit

The High Court has been told that a female employee at Aer Lingus only made a complaint of sexual harassment after she had a conversation with company chairman Bernie Cahill.

Mr Cahill denied in an affidavit that he pressurised Miss Ann Lawlor into making the complaint against Aer Lingus Chief Executive, Michael Foley. Mr Foley's request to the court for the right to appeal in this case will continue in the morning.
