Summary

Catherine Ryan, a former Deputy Head of Group Performance at Bank of Ireland, has applied to the High Court for an injunction to compel the bank to pay her salary until her case is heard. She alleges that after her appointment in September to a €177,000 role, her superior redefined her position to a lower one, marginalising her and setting her up to fail. Ryan claims the bank's decision to terminate her employment was performance‑related, but she disputes this, saying she was isolated at work and that a six‑month probation period was used to remove her. The bank denies all allegations, stating the termination was valid and performance‑based. The court, presided over by Mr Justice Paul Gilligan, has reserved judgment, with a ruling expected on Friday. The case remains an ongoing legal dispute between Ryan and Bank of Ireland.
