Driver awarded €12k by tribunal

A company van driver involved in a number of road rage incidents and eventually convicted of careless driving has been awarded €12,000 after winning his unfair dismissal case.

This follows the Employment Appeals Tribunal awarding Neil O’Malley €12,000 after finding his employer, Comconsult Technologies Limited, trading as Fleet Connect, unfairly dismissed him.

Fleet Connect installs wifi for public transport companies and Mr O’Malley was employed to install the wifi and used a company van during his work.
