Liam Óg Lynch
Liam Óg Lynch is an Irish Rail worker who gained attention after being dismissed for operating a crane without permission in March 2023, an action he took in an attempt to avert a potentially dangerous situation involving an unstable load. Lynch, who had been employed at Irish Rail since 2021, argued that he acted out of necessity when he perceived that the load was improperly secured and that the only qualified operator was unable to safely manage the crane. Although he was awarded €12,000 for unfair dismissal, his request for reinstatement was denied, reflecting ongoing concerns about his safety record.
