Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found Samantha Coolings's unfair dismissal complaint against Sodexo Ireland Limited was not well founded. The decision was dated 4 November 2025. Coolings said she was dismissed after being placed on probation following a transfer under TUPE. She did not attend the hearing; her solicitor said her instructions were unclear. The adjudicator requested an explanation for her absence, but none was received, and dismissed the complaint on that basis. The decision did not determine the substance of her dismissal allegations.
