Kepak hired firm to ‘spy’ on employee

Kepakās deployment of a special surveillance firm to monitor the activities of night-time cleaning supervisor Noel Farrell is confirmed by the Employment Appeals Tribunal which found Mr Farrell was unfairly dismissed. The company has now been ordered to pay him ā¬25,000.
Mr Farrell was sacked by Kepak from its meat processing plant at Ballymahon, Co Longford, in January 2013, and the tribunal has found the dismissal to be āunreasonable and disproportionateā.
