WRC rejects two dismissal complaints against Jones Engineering Holdings

The Workplace Relations Commission found two unfair dismissal complaints against Jones Engineering Holdings Limited trading as Jones Engineering Group were not well founded. The decision, dated 3 November 2025, also records that a separate working-time complaint was withdrawn. Lee Mc Dermott alleged he was dismissed after refusing a move to another site and that the move followed a protected disclosure. The company said it was not his employer. The adjudicator found Mc Dermott had not established that he worked for the holding company rather than its Swedish subsidiary or another entity; the findings did not decide the alleged disclosure or dismissal on their merits.
