Catherine Ryan refused salary order in Bank of Ireland case

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Catherine Ryan was refused an order requiring Bank of Ireland to pay her salary at the High Court on 17 June 2016. She had sought payment while pursuing legal proceedings over her dismissal. Mr Justice Paul Gilligan said the conflict in evidence meant he could not find that she had made out a strong case likely to succeed. The dispute was directed to a full hearing when the next law term opened in October.

Ryan, who had been deputy head of group performance, claimed the bank marginalised her and redefined her role. Bank of Ireland denied those claims and said her employment was terminated for performance reasons.
