Special education organiser Máire Ahern alleged employer did not follow State pandemic advice

A woman who alleged she was penalised for raising health and safety concerns about going to work in a school during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic has had her complaint rejected by the Workplace Relations Commission.

In her submission, she claimed the council was non-compliant with the Government’s Return to Work Safely Protocol at the time, and that she was “repeatedly penalised” for raising the safety concern. “A year later in August 2021, the complainant is still refusing to carry out this reasonable instruction from the respondent, despite remaining an employee of the respondent and being paid full salary,” Ms McVeigh said.
