Labour Court dismisses Roger Terence Tallis’s appeal against National Support Services

The Labour Court dismissed Roger Terence Tallis’s appeal on 14 November 2018, leaving in place the finding that his complaint against National Support Services Limited was not well-founded. Tallis said his employment as a part-time cleaner was terminated because he raised concerns with his employer’s client representative about a security guard working for another contractor. National Support Services denied penalising him, saying he was dismissed during probation for persistent underperformance. The Court found Tallis had not disclosed information to a member of An Garda Síochána or given notice of an intention to do so. It also found the matter he raised did not relate to a relevant offence under the Criminal Justice Act 2011. The appeal failed.
