A manager at Aer Lingus has gone to the High Court challenging a disciplinary investigation against her.
Kathleen Bermingham is accused of operating her private practice as a psychotherapist while on company time.
Her lawyers says she is an exemplary work record at Aer Lingus over the last 38 years.
Based in Dublin she holds the position of landside manager but outside of this work she also has a private practice as a psychotherapist which the airline is aware of.
Out of the blue the court heard she received a phone call in March in which she was told charges had been made against her about her time-keeping and that there were accusations she was operating her clinic while purporting to be at work.
She was suspended and is now claiming she was denied her rights in the ensuing disciplinary process.

The court heard it emerged was put under the surveillance of a private investigator but the company has refused to give her details of the evidence against her.
The matter will return to court next Wednesday when lawyers for Aer Lingus will have an opportunity to put forward their side of the case.
