A Fine Gael county councillor who accused his employer of setting up a 'total sham' redundancy in a €312,000 unfair dismissal claim made a 'major mistake' by failing to participate in an appeals process, it has been found.
A Fine Gael county councillor who accused his employer of setting up a"total sham" redundancy in a €312,000 unfair dismissal claim made a"major mistake" by failing to participate in an appeals process, it has been found.
Giving evidence, Mr Timmins said he and other directors put a warning in writing to the firm’s owner, Dermot Brady, because they claimed the businessman"effectively took no pay cut" despite agreeing to a 1/5th reduction in his remuneration. He denied that bore any resentment towards the directors and said:"I was going to move out of the house anyway."
"I would find that very strange because our auditors who deal with the ODCE were looking for information and say they’re not sure what they [the ODCE] are looking for," he said."We have answered all questions. Nothing has been proven or said against me or the company," Mr Brady said."It’s all documented with the audited accounts," he added.
He said the company had"financial issues to be dealt with" after the failed US expansion and that Mr Brady had called in his firm for a restructuring programme starting in 2018.
