The Workplace Relations Commission found Katie Collins's unfair dismissal complaint against Cork Simon Community not well founded after she failed to attend a remote hearing. The decision was dated 29 April 2026, and no award was recorded. Collins alleged she was unfairly dismissed for gross misconduct. She had been notified of the hearing arrangements but did not attend, and attempts to contact her by phone were unsuccessful. The adjudicator said she had not prosecuted the complaint; the merits of the dismissal allegation were not determined.
