€20,000 Awarded Over Rat Phobia
A woman has been awarded €20,000 after it was found she was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder due to rats and mice at her former workplace.

The court found that Amanda Byrne, who had a long term phobia of rodents, suffered harassment and a discriminatory dismissal.
