The Workplace Relations Commission found Alan Edwards’s claims against Cpm Ireland were not well founded after he did not attend a hearing to give evidence. The decision, dated 2 December 2025, covered complaints concerning unfair dismissal, employment equality, protected disclosures, working time and minimum notice. The WRC said Edwards had been notified of the hearing and knew he needed to attend to progress his claims. It said his direct evidence was necessary to establish the facts and allow cross-examination; without it, the adjudication officer could not proceed with the complaints.
