Jennifer Clancy won her whistleblower penalisation case at the Workplace Relations Commission in a ruling delivered on 24 June 2024.

The WRC directed Templeogue College to pay Clancy €39,912, equivalent to 15 months’ salary, after finding in her favour.

Clancy, a former part-time Spanish teacher, said she was penalised after signing a staff grievance about health and safety, staff facilities and student discipline.

The school closed its case without presenting witness evidence; its lawyers had previously said principal Niamh Quinn would give evidence disputing Clancy’s allegations.
