Patrick Troy’s unfair dismissal complaint against Flynn Management & Contractors Limited was rejected by the Workplace Relations Commission. His hearing began on 6 September 2021 and concluded on 21 March 2022. Adjudication officer Catherine Byrne found that the dismissal was wholly or mainly due to redundancy and was not unfair. Her decision was dated 21 September 2022.

The WRC also rejected Troy’s two complaints under the Organisation of Working Time Act. It found that his statutory annual leave entitlement had been met and that, as a senior manager able to determine his own working time, he was outside the Act’s working-hours protections.
