The Labour Court recommended that Dunnes Stores (Drogheda) pay £500 compensation to a worker dismissed over void transactions. The recommendation was signed on 10 November 2000. The Court found the worker had not defrauded the company and was innocent of the charges. It said theft had occurred, but the investigation was seriously flawed and led to an unjust charge against her. The company declined to attend the hearing; the union, Mandate, represented the worker.
