WRC declines unfair dismissal case after finding severance waiver was informed

The Workplace Relations Commission declined jurisdiction over Mark Morrissey’s unfair dismissal complaint against Three Ireland Hutchison Limited, finding that he signed a severance agreement with informed consent. The decision, dated 20 January 2025, said he understood its effect on his legal rights and had an opportunity to seek legal advice. Morrissey alleged he was unfairly selected for redundancy; the company said the process was legitimate and that the agreement waived the claim. The officer did not decide whether the redundancy selection was substantively unfair.
