Tribunal finds probe into allegations coach punched two players over social media post lacked fairness

A football club has been given the ‘red card’ by the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) when told to pay €13,000 for the unfair dismissal of a fitness coach.

In the case, the un-named football club sacked the fitness coach in April 2018 over disputed allegations that he physically assaulted two players, including the team captain.
