WRC declines to hear Brian Breslin’s unfair dismissal complaint against F.X. Buckleys

The Workplace Relations Commission did not have jurisdiction to hear Brian Breslin’s unfair dismissal complaint against F.X. Buckleys, finding the alleged disclosure concerned personal workplace grievances and that he lacked the required 12 months’ service. The decision was dated 5 April 2024. Breslin said his complaints about breaks, pay and reduced hours led him to leave his job. F.X. Buckleys said the parties agreed an exit package after their working relationship broke down. The merits were not decided because the WRC found the complaints were not a protected disclosure and Breslin lacked the required service.
