Golf club official's testimony 'somewhat undermined' by attempt to swear religious oath on diary, tribunal finds
Summary
A Workplace Relations Commission adjudicator rejected cleaner Donna Ash's unfair dismissal complaint against Skerries Golf Club after finding the redundancy was genuine. The decision said honorary secretary Donnacha Neary's credibility was somewhat undermined when he initially tried to swear an oath using a work diary instead of a Bible. Despite shortcomings in the process, the club showed a sizeable saving from outsourcing its cleaning function.
