The Workplace Relations Commission awarded Fiona Berry €10,000 in compensation after finding she was unfairly dismissed by Acolad Content Solutions Ireland Ltd, in a decision dated 30 March 2026.
Berry challenged the process used to select her for redundancy, saying she was not given the selection criteria and that there was no meaningful consultation or genuine effort to find alternatives. Acolad did not attend the hearing; it had previously attributed the role reduction to restructuring and cost saving. The adjudicator found the process grossly procedurally unfair. Berry also alleged retaliation for raising health and safety concerns, but the finding was based on the unfair dismissal process.
