The Labour Court found that a Limerick City & County Council worker’s injury came within the scope of the Council’s Fire Service Accident Pay Scheme, affecting his sick pay and pension entitlements. It instructed the parties to agree guidelines for classifying injuries under the scheme. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union argued that the worker should receive scheme payments for his absence and that the Council had changed its previous practice. The Council said the scheme covered firefighters injured while carrying out duties at a fire scene. The Court’s recommendation was signed on 14 June 2016.
