Martin Beirne was awarded €31,666.78 for unpaid annual leave by the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), reported on 1 February 2024.

Beirne worked as a property manager in the HSE estates department. After the HSE moved to abolish his position in 2008, he remained in the role without line management until he retired in April 2022.

The adjudicator found that work demands had prevented Beirne from taking his full annual leave. The decision found his complaint well-founded and ordered the HSE to pay 104 days’ pay, totalling €31,666.78.
