Labour Court affirms €100 recommendation to Anna-Marie Flanagan

The Labour Court disallowed Anna-Marie Flanagan’s appeal and affirmed a Rights Commissioner’s €100 compensation recommendation. The decision was signed on 22 May 2006. Rochelle Foods Ltd had paid the recommendation before the appeal. Flanagan argued that she had been contracted for three months and was unfairly dismissed. The company said her job was part-time relief work and that it needed to cut operating costs. The Court found the Rights Commissioner’s conclusions correct and the recommendation reasonable.
