Woman who told superior 'to shove job up his ass' bids to prevent termination
Summary
A receptionist and administrator employed by Martin Jennings Wholesale Limited in Ballinrobe, County Mayo, has brought High Court proceedings seeking an injunction to prevent her dismissal. Lisa Flanagan, who worked for the company for over twenty years, admits using intemperate language towards a senior colleague during a workplace incident in December, but denies formally resigning. The company subsequently informed her that her resignation had been accepted. Ms Flanagan claims the colleague had engaged in bullying behaviour and that she made a protected disclosure to the company regarding these allegations. She contends the company wrongfully terminated her employment and seeks declarations that she remains an employee and that any disciplinary matters be handled according to fair procedures. Mr Justice Senan Allen granted permission for short notice of the proceedings. The High Court action was adjourned to February.
