The Labour Court upheld a ruling that David Walsh’s standby time as a retained firefighter was not working time under the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997. His appeal against Kerry County Council failed. The determination was signed on 8 November 2022. The Court said the case relied on the same facts as an earlier case about retained firefighters’ standby time, whose reasoning it adopted.
