The Labour Court upheld a €2,000 recommendation to a worker at Lyons Excavations Ltd after the company’s redundancy-selection decision was challenged. In a decision dated 22 December 2006, the Court found no compelling reason to interfere with the Rights Commissioner’s recommendation and disallowed the Union’s appeal. The Union said the worker had not been offered alternative work and had suffered financial loss. The company said no work remained and cited disciplinary and safety issues. The Rights Commissioner had found that recent disciplinary issues influenced the redundancy selection and recommended a once-off ex-gratia payment in full settlement.
