Michelle Murray was awarded €10,080 after the Workplace Relations Commission found her dismissal procedurally unfair and upheld a separate complaint over written employment terms.

The WRC found the employer’s investigation reached reasonable conclusions and dismissal was a reasonable sanction, but the disciplinary process was unfair because Murray could not cross-examine her accusers. It also found that the employer had failed to give her a full written statement of her employment terms.

The WRC partially upheld Murray’s complaints. A case summary records her dismissal in October 2023 and says she had raised other employment-rights complaints, including about working hours and rest breaks. The Irish Times reported that her further employment-rights complaints were either withdrawn or dismissed.
