The WRC rejected Maureen Brennan’s unfair dismissal claim against Paddy Power, finding her dismissal for gross misconduct substantively and procedurally fair. The decision was dated 9 September 2026. Paddy Power said four incidents involved inaccurate attendance records and shared logins. Brennan accepted that her handling of the incidents was incorrect but said they were isolated, that staffing levels made breaks difficult, and that dismissal was disproportionate. The adjudication officer found the company considered mitigation, followed fair procedures and acted within the range of reasonable responses.
