The Employment Appeals Tribunal (EAT) dismissed an appeal by Western Brand Chickens of Ballyhaunis, Co Mayo, against a ruling by a rights commissioner that the company had unfairly sacked one of its employees, Noel Conroy. The EAT ruled that the company’s procedures in dismissing Mr Conroy were “entirely unfair and unreasonable”.
The financial controller of Western Brand Chickens claimed Mr Conroy of Larganboy East, Ballyhaunis, Co Mayo, was fired for a number of irregularities, including misuse of petty cash, the improper use of medication in the workplace and theft.
