Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found Christina Doyle was unfairly dismissed from her cleaner’s job at the Board of Management of Our Lady of Hope School and awarded her €5,000 compensation. Doyle said the principal told her she was being given two weeks’ notice after accusing her of leaving a bucket containing bleach in a hallway; she denied leaving it. The school said she resigned after a discussion about the bucket. The WRC found a complete absence of fair procedures and noted the school presented no sworn evidence.
