Summary

Cashel Mulgrew, a courier who had worked for Napier Couriers Ltd (trading as Nügo and Fastway) for about a year and a half, won a claim for unpaid wages after the company docked €305 from his pay for a garage‑door incident. The incident occurred during a delivery to a Co. Mayo property in severe weather, when Mulgrew accidentally removed the door's roller while trying to keep it open. He denied any malicious intent and said the damage should have been covered by the company's insurance. After resigning in September 2025, he discovered the deduction had been made without written notice or supporting receipts. The tribunal, hearing the case under the Payment of Wages Act 1991, found the deduction unlawful and awarded him €305 in unpaid wages.
