Mr. Fergus Whelan:

IBEC was certainly worried about that. The person might win. Mr. Gaynor handled this well when he was talking about the European court system. All these things are decided on the merits of the individual case. One person might win and another person might lose.

I am an old type industrial relations practitioner. If my employer were to decide to throw me out of employment - I have no pension entitlement - I would prefer to engage in an industrial dispute. I think I would have a better chance of winning than taking a case for unfair dismissal to the Employment Appeals Tribunal.
