WRC declines to hear Patrick Martin's agency-worker complaints against Frs Network

By Saoirse Doyle

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found it had no jurisdiction over Patrick Martin's agency-worker complaint against Frs Network; a second complaint was identified as a duplicate. No award was recorded. Adjudication Officer Breiffni O'Neill dated the decision 10 January 2025. Martin alleged that his terms while working for Teagasc through Frs Network were inferior to those of Teagasc's full-time staff. Frs Network disputed that he was an agency worker, saying it supervised and directed his work. The officer found Martin was not an agency worker for the complaint and treated the arrangement as a client-contractor relationship.
