The Workplace Relations Commission awarded care worker Jessica Tyrrell Browne €2,040 compensation after finding she was unfairly dismissed by Missionary Sisters of St. Columban. In a decision dated 21 August 2025, it also ordered the care home operator to pay €510 for failing to provide minimum notice. Browne alleged she was dismissed after a disagreement at work on 8 July 2024. The respondent denied dismissing her, saying she left her shift early, was invited to raise a grievance and return to work, and later resigned. The adjudication officer found Browne considered herself dismissed after the employer failed to follow up or begin the disciplinary process.
