Photograph: Alan Betson/The Irish TimesA former Ulster Bank manager who claimed he was made redundant for making a protected disclosure has been told he has no right to pursue a claim after accepting an enhanced redundancy package worth over €145,000.
He contended that after making a protected disclosure, he was “sidelined and excluded in the workplace” and “deliberately prevented” from working to the full capacity of his role – leading to his unfair selection for redundancy.
In evidence, Mr Flanagan he said he was under the impression that everyone was being made redundant and only later found out he was the only member of his team let go at that point. “By his own admission, the complainant is a prudent man. By signing the settlement agreement, the complainant agreed that he had sought whatever advice he saw fit. The fact that he chose not to do so was a matter for himself,” she added.
