Frank Fahey (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

The Minister further understands that, following the termination of the project, the former project co-ordinator raised the amount of the redundancy sum paid to him by the employing organisation with the Labour Relations Commission and the matter was heard by the rights commissioner in February 2006. It is important to point out that the Minister, the Department and the Garda authorities were not parties to this hearing. A copy of the determination of the rights commissioner had not been forwarded to the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform or to the Garda Síochána at that time.
