The Labour Court varied an adjudication officer’s €3,000 recommendation and recommended €5,000 compensation for an anonymised Security Worker, after finding misinformation about a promotion competition disadvantaged him. The recommendation was dated 20 June 2022.
The worker withdrew from the competition after being told successful candidates would initially be assigned to Dublin. Vacancies later included locations outside Dublin, and the Court found the misinformation was a primary cause of his withdrawal. He had not sought a review that could reverse the appointment decision, which the Court said it could not itself reverse.
