Templeogue principal to say she did not target teacher over student discipline grievance, WRC hears
Summary
In a Workplace Relations Commission hearing, Templeogue College principal Niamh Quinn will deny retaliating against former teacher Jennifer Clancy, who had signed a grievance about student indiscipline. Quinn will argue that she did not target Clancy personally and that any disciplinary action was unrelated to the grievance. She will also contest claims that a student who threw a mobile phone at a teacher was only internally suspended, and that a student filmed a teacher's backside, stating no evidence was found. Quinn will explain that the timetable change offered to Clancy in September 2022, which shifted her to afternoon classes, was an administrative adjustment, not a punitive measure, and that Clancy was not approved for a permanent contract at that time. The hearing is adjourned to 24 April for further evidence. The case involves complaints under the Protected Disclosures Act and the Health and Safety at Work Act.
