The Workplace Relations Commission found Paul Downey’s unfair-dismissal complaint was out of time and said it had no jurisdiction to hear it; the merits were not decided. The decision was dated 15 December 2023. Downey argued that his dismissal took effect on 23 January 2023, when he received the outcome of his appeal, and sought more time to bring his complaint. The adjudicator found the dismissal letters made clear it took effect on 9 November 2022 and that Downey had not shown reasonable cause for the delay.
