In 1987, the Labour Court recommended £500 compensation for staff affected by the Mater Nursing Home's relocation to a new private hospital. The recommendation was signed on 7 January 1987. The Irish Transport and General Workers' Union sought compensation for disruption and roster changes after the move. Mater Private Hospital Limited argued that the new hospital was nearby, working conditions had improved and compensation was not warranted. The Court recommended £500 for the claimants because they had agreed to revised hours and altered conditions, but said no payment was appropriate for the distance moved.
