The Workplace Relations Commission found David Quinn was unfairly dismissed and awarded him €3,906.32 in compensation. The decision, dated 12 October 2023, concerned his complaint against Lisheens House Drop-In Center Company Limited by Guarantee (amended on consent).
The respondent did not dispute that the dismissal was unfair; its case focused on whether Quinn had taken reasonable steps to limit his losses. He told the WRC he applied for about 15 to 20 jobs and provided evidence of his applications. The WRC found his efforts met the required standard. It calculated the financial loss period through 26 April 2023, when he began suitable work, and made the award it considered just and equitable.
