The Labour Court recommended against conceding a worker's claim for appointment to Iarnrod Eireann's District Traction Executive position. The worker, represented by Services Industrial Professional Technical Union, relied on his qualifications and experience acting in the role; management said another candidate had performed better in the selection process. The Court found the worker competent but identified no irregularity or manifest irrationality in the competition. It signed the recommendation on 1 September 2011.
