The Labour Court awarded night watchman Dan Nechita €500 after finding Fingal County Council had not shown it provided statutory rest breaks during the period considered. The decision, signed on 26 September 2025, varied an earlier ruling that had rejected his complaint. Nechita said he had not been told he could take breaks during his shifts. The Council said he could take breaks flexibly and had facilities on site. The Court found his account had not been challenged and the Council provided no supporting evidence. Nechita withdrew a separate Sunday-pay appeal.
