Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court recommended that a dispute between Veronica Dunne Burkes and a shop worker be regarded as closed, without recommending compensation. In a decision dated 18 December 2023, it found that poor communication on both sides worsened a disagreement over missing till money. The worker appealed an Adjudication Officer recommendation issued on 26 July 2023, which called for an apology and €200 compensation. She had resigned after a till discrepancy arose and said she felt accused of taking money. The Court found she was never accused, but that the owner failed to engage meaningfully with her. It also said the worker left prematurely without explaining her concerns.
