Unnamed nurse wins stay in misconduct inquiry

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

A nurse who cannot be identified secured High Court permission to challenge a misconduct investigation, with the decision reported on 16 February 2015. The allegations arose from a female patient's complaint about conduct at a medical facility where he had worked.

Mr Justice Seamus Noonan granted leave for judicial review and ordered a stay preventing An Bord Altranais from continuing its investigation pending the proceedings. The nurse denies the allegations and argues that delay has affected his ability to obtain material needed for a fair hearing. The case was listed for return in April.
