Farm manager with Multiple Sclerosis awarded €31k for unfair dismissal

A farmer unfairly dismissed a manager with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) after allegedly telling him that most people at his stage of MS would have "fallen off the edge of the table by now”.

At the meeting between the two on August 4, 2018, the Farm Manager also alleged that the farmer told him that that if he took disability now, “he would have a better quality of life and that if they met across the table in 10 years’ time that hopefully he would have no aids or a wheelchair”.
