Colm Dunne
Colm Dunne, a contractor from Drogheda, Co Louth, made headlines after being dismissed from his position as an IT engineer at Dublin Airport for allegedly using inappropriate language towards an Aer Lingus employee during a work-related incident. Following a disciplinary process that deemed his language as gross misconduct, Dunne contested his dismissal in the High Court, claiming it was excessively harsh and lacked proper justification. He argued that his interaction on January 27, which involved a malfunctioning self-service kiosk, did not warrant such severe repercussions, especially given his prior unblemished record with the company.
