Templeogue College teacher ‘intimidated’ by principal after signing grievance letter awarded nearly €40,000
Templeogue College in Dublin
Prestigious south Dublin boys’ school Templeogue College has been ordered to pay nearly €40,000 to a teacher who was subjected to “multiple and sustained acts of penalisation” for putting her name to a collective staff grievance.
The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) made the award after ruling that Jenny Clancy, who taught Spanish part-time at the secondary school run by the Spiritan Education Trust, was “intimidated” by principal Niamh Quinn at a meeting in August 2022 – as well as being subject to unfair treatment, changes to her working hours and having disciplinary proceedings instigated against her.
