From Today's FT:

Airline chief fired for sexual harassment

The chief executive of Aer Lingus, Ireland's national carrier, was sacked yesterday after a company committee found him guilty of sexual harassment following allegations by a fellow director and his personal assistant. Michael Foley, who was headhunted last September from Heineken Ireland to take the company through to privatisation, had been suspended on full pay as company investigations considered allegations from Joan Loughnane, the worker appointed director, and Anne Lawlor, Mr Foley's personal assistant. The dismissal leaves the company without a chief executive at a critical time. Aer Lingus said: "The committee of the board, having concluded that Mr Foley's position as chief executive is untenable, had decided to terminate his employment with immediate effect in accordance with his contract."

Justice seen to be done.........
