MOUNTMELLICK Community School principal Eric Gaughran was successful in a High Court bid last Tuesday to prevent the school’s board of management from holding a disciplinary meeting into allegations of bullying against him.
Mr Gaughran was suspended from his duties at the school on Tuesday 21 June after the school’s board of management received a report into an allegation that he had bullied a member of staff.
The report recommended that the school board of management should take action.
On foot of the report, the board suspended Mr Gaughran on full pay, requiring his attendance at a disciplinary meeting scheduled to take place on Tuesday 20 September. Mr Gaughran strenuously denied the allegations made against him.
