Prof Brian Lenehan says being placed on administrative leave is ‘unwarranted’ as disciplinary inquiry into Aoife Johnston death continues
An application for an injunction by the chief clinical director at University Hospital Limerick, who has been put on leave pending the outcome of a disciplinary inquiry into the death of teenager Aoife Johnston, came before the High Court on Thursday.
Prof Lenehan’s case came before Mr Justice Liam Kennedy with Lorna Lynch SC, for the consultant orthopaedic surgeon, saying her client was seeking injunctive relief. The Health Service Executive was represented by Mairéad McKenna SC.
Prof Lenehan is seeking an injunction against his being placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the disciplinary process. The decision to place him on administrative leave, in his capacity as clinical director, was, he believed, unwarranted, he said.
