Irish exec ousted from US firm after 24 years wins €142k
Summary
Workplace Relations Commission adjudicator Breiffni O'Neill awarded former Lionbridge EMEA managing director Caroline O'Connell €142,984 after the company conceded unfair dismissal. He rejected Lionbridge's argument that she had failed to mitigate her losses, finding her efforts to find new work reasonable given her seniority and the relatively few openings at that level.
