Workplace Relations Service: Discussion with Employment Appeals Tribunal

2:35 pm

Mr. Noel Dowling:

I wish to make a final point. When they have been presented with a document, people have a habit of returning to discuss matters further. In that context and in respect of the reference to a single adjudication by a body such as the tribunal sufficing and the assertion that appeals should only take place on points of law, we have acknowledged that contradictory legal views exist in this regard. We are quite willing to accept that it is possible that there may have to be an appeal and that this should be to the Circuit Court. This would still reduce the number of de novo hearings by one.
