The Workplace Relations Commission found Martin Cormican was unfairly dismissed by Blue Line Coaches Ltd T/A Nolan Coaches and ordered €8,928 in compensation. The decision was dated 24 January 2023. The company said it dismissed him for gross misconduct, alleging he used a racial slur to a passenger and refused to carry them. The adjudicator found the allegation false and unsubstantiated, and said Cormican had misread his work docket, causing him to miss passengers on their way to work. The adjudicator found that error was not gross misconduct or grounds for dismissal. The compensation comprised €1,200 for lost pay before he began a new job and €7,728 for lost accrued service rights. No contribution by Cormican to his dismissal was found.
