RTÉ settles Labour Court action in ex-employee case

Ms Roper, a former television producer-director, had won her case at the Workplace Relations Commission, which ordered RTÉ to pay her €100,000.

RTÉ appealed the case to the Labour Court, but after a five-day hearing, the Labour Court division was forced to recuse itself due to inappropriate comments made by a member of the Court. Arthur Hall had described questioning by RTÉ's barrister Marguerite Bolger SC as "ageist" and "sexist". Mr Hall subsequently apologised to Ms Bolger during the public hearing, but the Chair of the division of the Court - Alan Haugh - said that the division would have to recuse itself and arrange a re-hearing with a new division.A re-hearing had been due to take place later this week, but it is understood that the Labour Court was informed that the case had been settled.

In the normal courts, the winning party pays the costs of the losing side, but in the Workplace Relations Commission and the Labour Court, each side bears their own costs, whether they win or lose.In a statement, Ms Roper said: "In 2019 I won an employment equality case with RTÉ at the Workplace Relations Commission. RTÉ's appeal to the Labour Court regarding that case has now been withdrawn and matters have been settled to my satisfaction. I'm very happy with the outcome.
