The Labour Court awarded Zoe Murphy €1,000 after upholding her complaint that L&L Ocean Palace Chinese Takeaway Limited failed to provide regular rest breaks. The decision was signed on 23 January 2026. The employer appealed an earlier decision. Murphy said she could not take breaks while working alone; the proprietor said he stepped in to allow them, but had no records. The Court concluded she did not receive regular rest breaks.
