The Labour Court did not recommend conceding the Irish Federation of University Teachers’ claim that filling a library vacancy through redeployment imposed an unfair transfer on library staff at University College Cork. The union argued that the expression-of-interest period was too short, there were no interviews and filling a professional post with a non-professional grade set an unacceptable precedent. University College Cork said it had to fill the vacancy through redeployment, only one suitable person expressed interest, and it complied with the Public Service Agreement. The Court noted that a law degree had never been required for appointment to a professional post in the law section of the library. Its recommendation was signed on 7 July 2015.
