Ireland's Court of Appeal denied Prof. Nolan's request to retain employment with Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) during appeal.

Ireland's Court of Appeal rejected Prof. Philip Nolan's request to maintain his employment with Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) while appealing a High Court decision. Nolan claims the decision is fundamentally incorrect and sought to prevent being treated as dismissed by SFI. The court determined his concern about SFI's potential dissolution was not grounds for the order, as he could be reinstated if successful in his appeal.
