Ammi Burke complains of taxpayers’ money being spent amid 'hold up' in unfair dismissal case

The judge also asked Ms Burke not to point her finger at her while making submissions, as it was “quite distracting”.

Solicitor Ammi Burke has complained that taxpayers’ money was spent while the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) hearing of her complaint of unfair dismissal from law firm Arthur Cox was “held up”.

In April 2022, WRC adjudication officer Kevin Baneham rejected her claim of unfair dismissal, saying the hearing could not proceed due to persistent interruptions by members of the Burke family.
