The Labour Court upheld the dismissal of Liam McShane’s appeal, finding that Bus Éireann did not penalise him for raising safety concerns. The determination was dated 17 September 2022. McShane said the company penalised him by withholding pay after he refused shifts he believed breached working-time rules. Bus Éireann denied penalising him and said he had declined to work those shifts. The Court found he was unpaid for shifts he declined to work and that no valid complaint arose under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005. The appeal failed.
