WRC awards Eve Kilcoyne €800 gross for procedurally unfair dismissal

By Gráinne Nolan

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found Mac's Place Ltd procedurally unfairly dismissed Eve Kilcoyne and awarded her €800 gross. In a decision dated 13 April 2026, it also found her complaint about missing updated employment terms well founded and awarded €450. Mac's Place Ltd said declining cash use had made Kilcoyne's cash office role redundant and that alternative roles were discussed. The WRC accepted that the role had become redundant, but found the process unfair: Kilcoyne was not afforded representation or an appeal, and the enquiry into other job opportunities was inadequate. Kilcoyne said she had not been offered a suitable alternative and had not received updated terms after her duties changed.
