Professor Philip Nolan's dismissal as Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) director general was upheld by the High Court, with the judge stating the board was entitled to dismiss him without reason.
Professor Philip Nolan's attempt to extend High Court orders preventing his dismissal as Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) director general failed. The judge stated the board was entitled to dismiss him "for no reason at all" under his contract terms, and reasons for the decision may be related to claims against Nolan by five senior staff members. Nolan may show misconduct led to dismissal at a full trial but has not established a strong case.
