The Labour Court upheld the Adjudication Officer’s decision and rejected Eileen Power’s appeal for an extension of time to bring a protected-disclosures complaint against The Cheshire Foundation In Ireland. The decision was dated 4 March 2025. Power accepted that her complaint was late and said her trade-union representatives had not told her she could bring a penalisation claim under the Act. The Court ruled that ignorance of the law did not justify extending the time limit. The merits were not decided.
