The Labour Court awarded night watchman Dan Nechita €118.50 for economic loss and €500 compensation after finding Fingal County Council failed to pay his February 2024 public-holiday entitlement. Its decision, signed on 26 September 2025, varied an earlier ruling that had rejected his complaint. The Court rejected the March and May aspects of the complaint, finding that the Council had paid him for those holidays. It said the payslips’ classification of the payments as overtime caused confusion. Nechita withdrew a separate Sunday-pay appeal.
