The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed Ray Cawley’s complaint that Cork County Council owed him a fee for consultancy work at the 1999 Mallow International Garden Festival. The decision, dated 1 May 2025, found the claim was out of time and that Cawley was self-employed, outside the Payment of Wages Act’s protections. Cawley said the agreed £IR10,000 fee remained unpaid. The Council argued the claim was out of time and that he was not an employee. The adjudicator found the alleged payment fell due in June 1999, while the complaint was received in October 2024.
