Pádraig McMahon was awarded €41,400 for unfair dismissal by the Workplace Relations Commission, reported on 26 January 2023.

The Commission rejected his equal-pay complaint, finding that he had not established a prima facie case; it also found that he had not established prima facie complaints of disability discrimination or victimisation.

The adjudicating officer found that the redundancy process was unfair because the selection matrix lacked transparency and there was no proper consultation about alternatives. Mr McMahon had been selected for redundancy by Opentext Ireland Limited, where he worked as a technical support manager.
