Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court recommended that Joseph Murphy Structural Engineering Limited pay five workers two weeks’ pay per year of service, in addition to payments already made, as a full and final redundancy settlement. The recommendation was dated 20 February 2001. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union sought the same terms as an earlier recommendation, citing service ranging up to 41 years. The company did not attend the hearing but sent a letter saying it was no longer trading and could not make further payments; it also said two workers were not in dispute. The Court cited the workers’ long service in recommending the additional payment.
