Daniel Murphy’s complaint seeking more than €1,600 in mileage expenses from the State Examinations Commission was dismissed by the Workplace Relations Commission. The proceedings were reported on 1 October 2024. Adjudicator Christina Ryan concluded that the sums were expenses rather than wages and were not covered by the legislation. Murphy said he used longer roads to avoid delays from silage traffic, while the State said official travel should use the shortest practicable route and cheapest practicable transport.
