The Workplace Relations Commission found Daniel McChrystal’s complaint against Donegal County Council not well founded, ruling that the Council made no unlawful deduction from his wages. The decision was dated 13 April 2026. McChrystal said his prior service as a Defence Forces captain should have counted towards his starting pay point as a senior Economic Development Officer. The Council said it assessed his pay under Circular EL 05/2026, set it at Point 1 and later found no reason to change it. The adjudicator found McChrystal had accepted his rate of pay when he started and that no illegal deductions were made.
