Kenny cuts Alzheimer’s society ties over sackings

Broadcaster Pat Kenny has cut his ties with the Alzheimer Society of Ireland as a result of a major industrial relations row in which four regional managers have been made redundant.

The row is set to escalate with management at the society refusing to abide by a Labour Court ruling, despite a service level agreement with the HSE, obliging engagement with the State’s labour relations machinery.

Despite having levels of experience of between 11 and 16 years each, the four managers were offered the minimum statutory figure when they were made compulsorily redundant.
