Tesco to pay €11k to drug offender

Tesco has been ordered to pay a convicted drugs offender €11,500 arising from an unfair dismissal hearing.

The Employment Appeals Tribunal made the order after finding Marvin Moore’s dismissal was not fair and was also procedurally unfair.

The dismissal in September 2011 came two months after Mr Moore pleaded guilty to a charge of the possession of drugs with intent to supply.
