It recommended calculating the average over the 12 months before redundancy took effect. The recommendation was signed on 3 January 2014. The Court did not recommend adding allowances such as lunch money, holiday pay or the Dublin allowance. Services Industrial Professional Technical Union argued the porters had missed earlier severance negotiations and needed maximum financial protection. The bank said their terms matched those offered to other staff and changing the agreement could prompt further claims.
