The Central Bank of Ireland reached a settlement with forensic investigator Nigar Babayeva at the Workplace Relations Commission. On Friday, she signed papers withdrawing complaints under the Unfair Dismissals Act 1977 and the Protected Disclosures Act 2014; her solicitor confirmed the withdrawal took immediate effect.

Babayeva had alleged ill treatment by a manager and whistleblower penalisation after her dismissal. The Central Bank disputed an allegation that information about her complaint had been shared with the manager. The settlement ended the WRC case before three scheduled hearings could take place.
