Workplace Relations Commission ·

The Workplace Relations Commission found it had no jurisdiction to investigate Connie Gerety’s complaint against North Leinster Citizens Information Service Limited, in a decision dated 20 January 2025. Gerety alleged she was penalised for raising a health and safety complaint. The respondent argued that a mediated settlement covered the claim. The adjudication officer found the agreement covered the complaint and was entered with informed consent; the allegation itself was not decided.
