WRC rejects printer’s unfair-dismissal complaint against Poolville

The Workplace Relations Commission found Declan Walshe’s unfair-dismissal complaint against Poolville Limited, which trades as Label Craft, not well founded in a decision dated 25 February 2026. The adjudicator concluded the dismissal was reasonable and proportionate and the disciplinary process fair. Poolville said Walshe had falsely told colleagues that his manager looked through his bag. Walshe disputed the employer’s account and said workplace conflict and his manager’s handling of it led to the dispute. The adjudicator found the allegation breached trust and that the process was fair; Walshe had an opportunity to appeal but did not do so.
