DAA security worker claims he suffered ‘mental turmoil’ following colleagues’ ridicule


A Dublin Airport security worker has told the Workplace Relations Commission said he suffered “mental turmoil” following alleged ridicule and bullying by co-workers.

As a result, he was deployed to the VIP screening area, but he claims he was still confronted by other staff members about how he had handled the issue and that they told him they would never forget it.
