UCC ‘wasting money’ by appealing court award
Dr Naomi Bushin was made redundant in September 2009 at the end of a fixed-term contract as a researcher at UCC’s geography department.
The contract began in April 2006. She was only paid the statutory two weeks’ redundancy for each year of service and brought a case under law that entitles non-permanent employees to the same working conditions as their permanent counterparts.
