'Barrytown' bar staff owed combined €76k in redundancy, WRC rules
Summary
Six bar staff at the Foxhound Inn in Kilbarrack, Dublin 5, have been ruled entitled to redundancy payments totaling over €76,000 by the Workplace Relations Commission. The pub, which is currently being sold after the owner placed the operating company into receivership, was the location of a scene in the 1996 film adaptation of Roddy Doyle's The Van. The employees, including Derek Hyland, Kaytlyn Hyland, Billy Hyland, Jacqueline Mulligan, Ann Fulham, and Bernadine Murphy, filed complaints under the Redundancy Payments Act against Carnoet Ltd, trading as the Foxhound Inn. Their claims were upheld in decisions published by the WRC. Derek Hyland stated that he was given a claim form for statutory redundancy by a bookkeeper in early 2021 but was told by his employer, Jim Coughlan, that he was advised not to sign it.
