Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found a worker’s unfair dismissal complaint not well founded after he did not attend the hearing; the merits were not decided. Adjudication Officer Niamh O’Carroll dated the decision 5 December 2024. The worker objected to a remote hearing and declined an offer of interpreter services. The WRC advised him that the hearing would proceed and that he could attend to explain his objection or seek an adjournment. The officer found he knew the hearing was going ahead but did not attend.
