The Workplace Relations Commission awarded electrician Laurence O'Malley €4,000 after finding he was unfairly dismissed by Foyln Electrical Services Limited. The decision was dated 5 September 2023. The company said it dismissed O'Malley for gross misconduct connected with a broken mirror. O'Malley said he was fired after asking about back pay. A company director accepted that proper procedures had not been followed, and the adjudication officer found the dismissal was made in anger without any procedures being contemplated or followed.
