The WRC recommended that a school pay a teacher €550 after upholding her dispute over the procedure used to end her employment. Adjudication Officer Louise Boyle dated the recommendation 15 December 2025. The teacher said her employment ended without notice after an incident involving a student. The school said her employment ended because she had not followed procedure. Boyle noted that the teacher’s contract did not set out grievance or disciplinary procedures, then upheld the dispute and recommended €550.
