The Labour Court upheld a €12,000 unfair dismissal award to Mr Gene Mckenna after his appeal failed when he did not attend the hearing; the merits were not decided. The decision was dated 12 December 2023. Mr McKenna accepted that his dismissal was unfair but argued it followed protected disclosures rather than redundancy. He emailed on the morning of the hearing to say he was sick, but did not provide a medical certificate or ask to join remotely. Jinny Software Limited and its representatives were ready to proceed.
