Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court has overturned a €10,000 award to former employee Hannah Murphy, finding her dismissal was not linked to her age. Its determination, signed on 10 July 2025, set aside the WRC Adjudication Officer’s decision.

Murphy alleged she was dismissed because of her age. Freshly Chopped Limited said her dismissal followed breaches of customer-area policies. The Court found the dismissal arose from those breaches, including eating in the customer area and putting her feet on customer seats.
