The Supreme Court, in a judgment delivered by Chief Justice Donal O'Donnell on 31 July 2024, upheld the finding that Aodhagán Ó Súird was unfairly dismissed, while restoring reengagement as principal from 1 September 2017.

The court set aside the High Court's order requiring arrears from 30 November 2015 to be paid, meaning those arrears must be repaid to the board. It also removed the legal practitioner-and-client costs order and awarded Mr Ó Súird his High Court costs on a party-and-party basis.
