The decision was dated 7 March 2023; the merits were not decided. O'Goilin worked as an accountant for Macra Na Feirme Clg Macra Na Feirme. The organisation argued that a severance agreement settled his claims. The adjudicator found that the agreement covered Payment of Wages Act claims and that O'Goilin had received legal advice before signing it.
