Ms Si?n N? Raghallaigh:

To clarify, I sought her resignation, it was not forthcoming, and then we went into a disciplinary process.

The legal advice around that was that we could not say she was suspended because of labour laws. However, we took the decision to take that on board and make it public that she had been suspended because the damage being done to the organisation outweighed whatever the risk was of saying that publicly. That is what happened.
