The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed Hugh Rance’s penalisation complaint, finding his claims about vacant teaching hours at the Cork Education and Training Board School of Music did not qualify as a protected disclosure. Adjudication officer Patsy Doyle described the matter as an interpersonal grievance involving Mr Rance and his line manager.

Rance said he intended to appeal the ruling to the Labour Court.
