A Cork golf business which shrunk its driving range due to stray golf balls hitting nearby properties has been ordered to pay €4,000 to its greenkeeper for his unfair dismissal.
In the case before the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), Adjudicator Michael McEntee stated that there was “a definite business case" for the redundancy in 2020 of Gary O’Sullivan by Colman Ryan, Margaret Ryan and Michael Ryan of Frankfield House, Douglas, Co. Cork.
