The Labour Court has overturned a €27,500 award to Aisling Walsh, finding her dismissal by Securitas Security Services (Ireland) Limited was fair. In a decision signed 11 August 2026, it set aside the earlier ruling and recorded no current compensation award. Walsh alleged she was unfairly dismissed after returning from protected leave. Securitas said her role at a client site was made redundant for budget reasons. The Court found a genuine redundancy, considered the employer’s consultation and search for alternative roles substantially reasonable, and found the dismissal unconnected to her pregnancy or protected leave.
