In 1993, the Labour Court recommended that Bus Eireann not concede the National Bus And Rail Union claim over a driver's dismissal. The Court did not consider the dismissal unfair or unreasonable. The worker was dismissed during a 12-month probationary period. The union said he had not been warned his job was at risk and sought reinstatement; Bus Eireann cited repeated cash shortages, lateness and failures to follow instructions. The recommendation was signed on 15 November 1993.
