Seanán Ó Coistín alleged the Food Safety Authority of Ireland unfairly dismissed him by placing him on administrative leave after he criticised its Irish-language capacity. The WRC found his fixed-term employment ended when the contract expired on 31 December 2024; the leave had not ended it earlier. The complaint was excluded under the contract’s fixed-term provision, so the WRC had no jurisdiction and made no award. It did not decide the merits of his allegations about the leave.
