Derek Hyland and five other Foxhound Inn staff won statutory redundancy claims against Carnoet Ltd, trading as the Foxhound Inn, in Workplace Relations Commission decisions published on 21 April 2022.

Adjudicating officer Brian Dalton found the six workers were due redundancy based on their pay when dismissed and their years of service. Time spent on layoff or using a Covid-19 income support scheme could not be counted.

Derek Hyland was due about €41,300 in redundancy pay, plus €2,464 for unpaid leave in 2020 and €140 for public holidays. Jacqueline Mulligan was due €16,200 in redundancy and €1,025 for annual leave and public holiday entitlements.

Ann Fulham was due €5,500 after nearly 34 years’ service. Three other workers, Billy Hyland, Kaytlyn Hyland and Bernadine Murphy, were owed between €2,500 and €3,600 each in redundancy payments, with smaller sums for annual leave.
