In 2000, the Labour Court recommended that Bus Eireann offer a temporary driver his former job after finding there were extenuating circumstances in the incident that led the company to end his employment. It said his conduct appeared to be abandonment, but recommended a final opportunity to return with a new 12-month probation period and a final warning. The National Bus And Rail Union said the worker believed he was off duty and argued that the punishment was excessive. The offer was to remain open for eight weeks.
