The Workplace Relations Commission upheld three complaints by former bartender Jake Touhey against After Dark Market Square Limited, directing €246.46 for unpaid annual leave and €767 for two weeks’ notice. It also found he was entitled to statutory redundancy pay, subject to his PRSI contribution status; the amount was not specified. The decision was dated March 5, 2025. The Palace Bar in Birr closed on April 8, 2024, ending Touhey’s employment. After Dark Market Square Limited did not attend the hearing or provide a submission, and the WRC relied on Touhey’s uncontested evidence.
