Lisa Dalton won an unfair dismissal claim against Donegal Council before the Workplace Relations Commission, which ordered the council to pay her €10,000. The decision concerned her dismissal in November 2021 over alleged underperformance in ring-buoy inspection work.

The report said evidence supporting the allegations was hearsay from a line manager who did not give evidence. Dalton’s representative said app glitches and limited computer access affected records, while Dalton said her own inspections had been completed. The proceedings were reported on 23 March 2023.
