Louise Callanan wins HSE injunction over contract dispute

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Louise Callanan obtained an interim High Court injunction against the HSE, reported on 2 April 2025, over her employment contract.

The order temporarily restrains the HSE from treating her as anything other than an employee until further order. Callanan says the HSE planned to end her contract on 3 April 2025, despite her position that it was permanent; the court adjourned the application to Friday.

Callanan also alleges that she was penalised after making a protected disclosure in 2023 about data protection assessments relating to a health information management contract. These are her claims, not findings by the court.
