Sexual harassment claim 'completely wrong', says teacher

A secondary school teacher has described a former colleague's claims that he sexually harassed and bullied her as "absolutely and completely wrong".

During his second day in the witness box Mr Jim Mooney, a teacher at Tullamore College had denied claims made by former colleague Mary O'Toole that he leered at, inappropriately touched and verbally insulted her between 1996 and 2000, and told the court that she had a crush on him.
