Tony Tormey’s employment rights case against RTÉ was adjourned at the Workplace Relations Commission, reported on 16 December 2022.

Tormey says he is entitled to a contract of indefinite duration under fixed-term work law. RTÉ denies the claim and says he was always a self-employed contractor. The WRC sought tax records dating back to 2004 and witness evidence about whether Tormey could work elsewhere on television. The matter was adjourned until the New Year.
