Summary

Templeogue College reached a compromise with teacher Darren O'Sullivan, the fourth teacher to bring an employment rights claim against the school in the last two years. The resolution was announced at the Workplace Relations Commission, where the tribunal was set to open two days of hearings into O'Sullivan's statutory complaints. Adjudicator Penelope McGrath confirmed the parties had reached an agreement and that the complaints would remain alive for five weeks pending implementation of the compromise arrangement. The school's barrister noted no difficulty with the proposal and that the complainant's solicitor would communicate a withdrawal on or before 10 August. No particulars of O'Sullivan's complaints or the legislation under which they were brought were made public at the brief hearing. The school's unitary manager and an ASTI officer attended but did not address the hearing.
