Record Unfair Dismissal Awards and Workplace Disputes in Ireland
In a series of landmark rulings, the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) heard cases involving significant unfair dismissal claims and workplace discrimination in Ireland. Notable cases include an unprecedented €550,000 awarded to former Twitter executive Gary Rooney, and several cases highlighting issues of discrimination and retaliation, including those involving public figures such as Juliet O’Connell. The rulings underscore ongoing challenges in employment rights, as many workers face unjust terminations and workplace harassment.
