A Workplace Relations Commission employment rights complaint by Davide Carbone against CPL Solutions Ltd, trading as Covalen, was adjourned while adjudication officer Máire Mulcahy awaited a High Court ruling on the extent of anonymisation in tribunal hearings. The proceedings were reported on 16 April 2025.

The complaint concerned payment of a bonus under a contract. Covalen’s advocate, Mark Comerford, sought a direction preventing the press from identifying the social media company that was Covalen’s client, while saying the claim had not been pursued against that client. Mulcahy reserved her position on the application and said the hearing would be adjourned until the High Court decided the anonymisation issue.
