Material relating to case taken by Dr Paul O'Mahony to Employment Appeals Tribunal against University of Dublin Trinity College (TCD) for unfair dismissal. Though he lost the case, the tribunal felt the main reason his three-year contract at TCD was not renewed was that the college employment policy changed while he was working there, and the tribunal added a rider to their judgement suggesting TCD rehire him. Material relates to decision by The Visitors [to the University] following an appeal against the decision by the Board of TCD not to respond to the rider. It is unclear from the material whether O'Mahony was rehired or given a different position. [Mary Robinson becomes one of two Visitors on being elected to Chancellor role in 1998.]
