ESB worker told he was "risk to national infrastructure" resolves action
Summary
In a High Court case, Mr Graham Light, who was dismissed from his role as Commercial and Risk Advisor at the ESB on 11 October 2017, secured a temporary injunction preventing the termination of his employment and the cessation of his salary and benefits. Light claimed he was informed by senior ESB officials that an external security team had advised the Gardai that he was a "person of interest" and a security risk to national infrastructure in Ireland, Northern Ireland and Great Britain. He said the ESB had not told him the specific allegations and that the dismissal was presented as the last day of his employment. Light, 36, said the decision was irregular, unfair and had caused irreparable harm to his career and reputation. The court heard that the matter had been resolved and the proceedings could be struck out.
