Crunch talks in Garda manager's WRC case after parties told hearings will start unless matter is resolved overnight

Summary

The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) has set a deadline for the State and a senior Garda civilian manager, Bridget Casy‑Mulligan, to resolve a penalisation complaint by tomorrow or the case will proceed to public hearings. The complaint, lodged under the Protected Disclosures Act 2014, the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the Payment of Wages Act 1991, involves claims against the Garda Commissioner, the Minister for Public Expenditure and the government. The WRC had scheduled hearings for three days this week at Lansdowne House, Dublin 4. During a short hearing, adjudicator Máire Mulcahy noted that the parties had previously sought a mediator but none was available, and that the case had been adjourned in September. Mulcahy said the parties were working to source an external mediator and that if a mediator could not be found, the hearing would proceed tomorrow.
