A garden-centre manager was awarded €6,300 by the Workplace Relations Commission after bringing an unfair dismissal complaint, the Mayo News reported on 16 March 2023.

The report said she had been dismissed after giving her boss the middle finger and telling him to “f**k off” in front of staff and customers. The adjudication officer found the dismissal deficient in fairness and not proportionate, while allowing that the complainant was 10 percent responsible for her own behaviour.
