The Workplace Relations Commission found Peter Butler was unfairly dismissed and ordered Sligo Social Service Council Ltd to pay him €3,000 in compensation in a decision dated 26 January 2026. The WRC found the disciplinary process breached the organisation’s procedures: the evaluation committee had two members although three were required, and the appeal board had not seen or considered a report needed to address Butler’s appeal. The disciplinary matter concerned allegations about his discussions with a service user; the WRC’s unfair-dismissal finding rested on procedural failures.
