The Workplace Relations Commission found that the Unfair Dismissals Acts did not apply to Cian Carlin’s complaint against Celtic Working Platforms Ltd. The decision was dated 18 November 2021. Carlin said he was unfairly dismissed after making a protected disclosure about dangerous conduct at a construction site. The WRC’s decision turned on the family-employment exclusion: it found that the Acts did not apply in his circumstances because he was employed by his father’s company.
