The Labour Court recommended that the HSE South East Region assess a carpenter’s skills and provide any needed training, while including him on the Carlow on-call roster. The recommendation was signed on 17 October 2018. Unite the Union said he should have the same opportunity as other craft workers at St Dympna’s Hospital. The HSE said most call-outs there involved electrical or plumbing work outside his expertise and cited safety risks. The Court recommended assessing his performance after six months; if the arrangement proved unsatisfactory to either side, he should be offered an on-call position in Kilkenny.
