Dentist gets go-ahead to challenge disciplinary action
The High Court has given a dentist permission to challenge the Dental Council's decision to bring disciplinary proceedings against him for alleged professional misconduct.
The court heard that Dr Jehad Al Sukun, who has practised dentistry at a number of private clinics and hospitals around Ireland since 2008, was shocked when he discovered earlier this month that the Dental Council is considering taking steps to suspend him from working as a dentist.
