WRC finds Michele Perry entitled to redundancy payment after pub closure

The Workplace Relations Commission found Michele Perry’s redundancy complaint well-founded and ruled that she was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment. The decision was dated 15 December 2025. Perry sought payment after the pub closed; the respondent did not dispute the facts and said the business had no money left to pay redundancies directly. The Redundancy Payments Scheme, administered by the Department of Social Protection, applied. The operative decision does not state a payment total.
