Woman who told colleague to 'shove his job up his ass' resolves action
Summary
A High Court action brought by a woman employed for more than two decades at a meat processing plant in Ballinrobe, County Mayo, has been resolved. Ms Lisa Flanagan, who worked as a receptionist and administrator for Martin Jennings Wholesale Limited, sought an injunction to prevent her dismissal following a workplace dispute with a senior colleague. Ms Flanagan alleged she had been subjected to bullying and that she used intemperate language during an incident, telling her colleague to "shove his job up his ass". She denied formally resigning but claimed the company wrongfully accepted what it characterised as her resignation via email. The company subsequently maintained her position had been terminated. When the matter returned before Mr Justice Mark Sanfey on Wednesday, counsel for Ms Flanagan indicated the proceedings had been resolved. The judge struck out the action with no order as to costs.
