Facts: In August 2010, the Appellant made an allegation to the Board (which, at the time, was Wicklow VEC) that she was being sexually harassed by a male student in one of her art classes. The Board appointed an independent barrister to investigate the allegation. During the course of the investigation, the Appellant withdrew her allegation. The independent barrister found that the allegation was without foundation, noting that his decision would have been the same even if the Appellant had not withdrawn the allegation.

This was followed by an inquiry process conducted by an inspector appointed by the Minister which culminated in the Minister deciding that the Appellant was no longer fit for office.
