I see a former business director in LacPatrick Dairies, Mark Atkinson, was recently awarded €35,000 by the Workplace Relations Commission for unfair dismissal.

He was told in July 2017 that he was being made redundant, but contended that the role was not redundant and a new employee was installed after his purported dismissal to take up the role.

The commission also heard how he had retained his company car after being dismissed. LacPatrick reported the car as stolen to gardaí and he was arrested by PSNI for alleged car theft. He was told in October 2018 there would be no prosecution.
