Kepak hired firm to ‘spy’ on employee

Kepakâs 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 âŹ25,000.
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 âunreasonable and disproportionateâ.
