The Workplace Relations Commission upheld Yvonne Foley’s unfair dismissal complaint against Irish Distillers and ordered €35,000 in redress, reported on 6 July 2023.

It ruled that this misapplication undermined the dismissal decision and appeal, and found that the company had not applied its procedures consistently and fairly.
