Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission declined jurisdiction over Carmel Fogarty’s complaint against Simpson's Hospital, finding that the claim concerned her new employer, Aramark, following a transfer of undertakings. In a decision dated 12 January 2026, WRC adjudication officer Breiffni O'Neill said the complaint under the Transfer of Undertakings Regulations had been brought against Simpson's Hospital, the transferor, rather than Aramark, the transferee. Fogarty alleged she did not receive her usual June pay increase or customary Christmas bonus after the transfer.
