The Workplace Relations Commission found John Barry’s dismissal by Sonnervale Ltd procedurally unfair and awarded him €1,500 gross compensation. In a decision dated 24 April 2026, it also upheld his complaints over written employment terms and minimum notice, awarding €2,500 and €2,742.92 respectively. The WRC allowed Barry’s redundancy appeal and awarded a lump sum based on employment from 29 January 2018 to 31 January 2025, at gross weekly pay of €685.73, subject to insurable employment. Sonnervale said his redundancy payment had been available but he had not accepted it.
