Labour Court finds it has no jurisdiction in Abbey Hotel worker’s termination dispute

The Labour Court found it had no jurisdiction to investigate a worker’s termination dispute with Abbey Hotel (Roscommon) Ltd because an Adjudication Officer had already made a recommendation on the issue. The Court’s recommendation was signed on 14 September 2026. The worker said fair procedures had not been followed. The employer described the procedures it had used and argued that the Court could not investigate the dispute because the same issue had already been heard and no appeal had been lodged. The Court said the merits were not decided.
