In accordance with Section 8 of the Unfair Dismissals Acts, 1977 - 2015, Section 79 of the Employment Equality Acts, 1998 - 2015,following the referral of the complaints to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaints and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaints.

Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The respondent and witnesses for the respondent were in attendance for the hearing of these matters. |
Findings and Conclusions:
As the complainant did not attend the hearing of this matter, no evidence was presented to me in support of this claim. A hearing notification letter issued to the complainant, consequently I am satisfied that the complainant is on notice. He has offered no explanation for his absence. As no evidence was presented in support of this complaint, I find that no unfair dismissal has been established. Additionally, I find that no discrimination has been established. |
