WRC rejects Caroline Condon’s dismissal and penalisation complaints as out of time

The Workplace Relations Commission ruled it had no jurisdiction to hear either Caroline Condon’s unfair dismissal complaint or her complaint that the Health Service Executive (HSE) penalised her. Adjudication Officer Thomas O’Driscoll’s decision was dated 15 July 2025. Condon said her temporary employment ended and alleged that the HSE’s refusal to redeploy her was penalisation linked to an earlier workplace accident. The HSE argued the claims were late. The adjudicator found both complaints were filed outside the applicable time limits, so neither was heard on its merits.
