The Workplace Relations Commission rejected four complaints by Maire Aherne that the National Council For Special Education penalised her after she raised concerns about school visits during Covid-19. The decision was dated 25 March 2025, and no compensation was awarded. Aherne said disciplinary action, including warnings and an investigation, followed her concerns that school visits for administrative work and meetings conflicted with Covid safety protocols. The council argued that the measures arose from failures to follow management instructions. The adjudication officer found objective reasons unrelated to Aherne’s safety complaints and concluded that the required causal link was not established.
