Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found Pippa Ni Chonarain’s penalisation complaint against Applegreen was not well founded. The complaint alleged that she was dismissed after raising a workplace safety concern. The WRC, in a decision dated 17 August 2022, found the main reason for her dismissal was a failed food safety audit, alongside earlier quality issues and incomplete safety training. It also found she had contributed to the audit failure in her work area. The adjudicator concluded that she had not established a primary causal link between her safety complaint and dismissal.
