This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Ellison Silva dos Santos lost his unfair dismissal claim before the Workplace Relations Commission, when adjudicator Marie Flynn ruled for the employers on 28 February 2024.

The claim followed an alleged 28 June 2023 incident at The George, where he was accused of pushing a transgender woman down stairs.

Silva dos Santos denied pushing her, saying she threw herself after allegedly slapping him, while the employer disputed that account and his claim of dismissal.

After reviewing CCTV, correspondence and testimony, Flynn found the complaint was not well founded and indicated he was probably not dismissed on 30 June 2023.
