Gerard Foy’s two penalisation complaints over reporting an assault on a patient were rejected by the Labour Court; the decision was reported on 6 August 2025.

The court found Foy had made a protected disclosure but had not proved it directly led to his unsuccessful applications for staff roles or other alleged penalisation. It also found he had not established penalisation within the six-month period it could consider, and upheld the Workplace Relations Commission decision that both complaints were not well founded.
