Call for doctor to be struck off for harassing young female colleague

The doctor accepts that he repeatedly made inappropriate or unwanted contact with the young female intern, identified only as Witness A, who had worked with him in Mayo University Hospital in 2016.

The Medical Council has called for a hospital doctor who admitted harassing a young female colleague at Mayo University Hospital (MUH) through repeated, unwanted romantic overtures over a number of years to be struck off.

Counsel for the Medical Council’s chief executive, Hugh McDowell BL, told an inquiry last week that it was recommending that the registration of the former doctor at MUH in Castlebar, Co Mayo, should be cancelled.
