The Labour Court increased Barry Mckelvey’s compensation to €2,100 after finding Iarnród Eireann Irish Rail unlawfully deducted wages to recover legal costs. The decision was signed on 17 September 2025. The company said the deductions were a reasonable way to recover costs McKelvey owed. The Court found no express contractual term authorising them and varied an earlier €500 award.
