Aer Lingus is battling a whistleblower penalisation complaint at the WRC brought by a former pilot, Tom O’Riordan, who was fired after he raised concerns about toxic fumes. The airline denies his claims, with the WRC hearing testimony about O’Riordan's demands, including a hunger strike threat, significant compensation, and public disclosure of alleged fume incidents. The case is also examining disciplinary actions against O’Riordan related to social media posts and his claims of being poisoned during a flight.
