Judge previously refused to continue an interim order requiring Garda Commissioner to re-engage Tom Ronan as a civilian driver
Tom Ronan had won a WRC case on age discrimination but judge refuses interim order requiring the Garda to re-engage him
In those circumstances, a stay was sought on the revoking of the re-engagement by his counsel, Clíona Kimber. She alternatively sought an order that he continue to be paid until the appeal was finalised.She said such an order would not be a “stay” on the decision but effectively another injunction , which the court had already found he was not entitled to.
While accepting that the Supreme Court or Court of Appeal may disagree with his decision, he believed it “wholly inconsistent” that an injunction should be granted until that appeal takes place. He said his order that Mr Ronan not be re-engaged was to start immediately but he hoped the respondents would deal with him “in a respectful manner”.
