Fiona Rabbitte won her statutory redundancy claim at the Workplace Relations Commission after a hearing on 25 November 2022; the decision awarded a payment based on a weekly wage of €1,853.19.

The WRC found her refusal of a transfer from the closed Newbridge pharmacy to a Naas branch was reasonable, considering her circumstances and the added commuting time.

The statutory award was contingent on Rabbitte having been in insurable employment for the relevant period.
