A school principal who sexually harassed a student teacher at his school in the west of Ireland eight years ago has been struck off the Register of Teachers after being found guilty of professional misconduct at a fitness-to-teach inquiry.
An inquiry panel of the Teaching Council also ruled that he cannot reapply to have his name restored to the register for at least 15 years after finding a series of allegations of inappropriate conduct by the principal towards the young female teacher proven.
