By Ruairí Dolan

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The Workplace Relations Commission found Margaret Spain was dismissed by reason of redundancy and did not suffer unfair dismissal. The decision was dated 27 June 2022. Spain had worked as a cleaner for Scoil Naisiunta Chill Ruadhain since 2006. The school outsourced its cleaning service after requirements expanded, including additional Covid-related duties. Spain argued that the cleaning work continued and that the redundancy was not valid. The WRC concluded the school had made a valid redundancy decision and did not uphold the complaint.
