Angela Birch wins statutory redundancy payment after leaving Ballymun Regional Youth Resource

The Workplace Relations Commission found Angela Birch’s redundancy complaint well founded and ordered Ballymun Regional Youth Resource to pay her statutory redundancy entitlement. The decision was dated 13 December 2023; it does not state the payment amount. Birch argued that the charity’s conduct left her no choice but to resign after its outreach team was being ended. The respondent said HSE funding for the programme had been withdrawn. The adjudication officer accepted that Birch’s resignation in the circumstances entitled her to redundancy payment. Her TUPE complaints against Star were conditional on the redundancy complaint failing, so they fell away when it succeeded.
