The Employment Appeals Tribunal is an independent body under the aegis of my Department. The average waiting period from the time a case is notified to the Tribunal until it is heard in each region is:
County | Weeks | County | Weeks |
Cavan | 43 | Longford | 41 |
Carlow | 32 | Louth | 38 |
Clare | 40 | Mayo | 40 |
Cork | 58 | Meath | 38 |
Donegal | 34 | Monaghan | 22 |
Dublin | 24 | Offaly | 49 |
Galway | 43 | Roscommon | 22 |
Kerry | 44 | Sligo | 48 |
Kildare | 37 | Tipperary | 51 |
Kilkenny | 40 | Waterford | 55 |
Laois | 32 | Westmeath | 39 |
Leitrim | 39 | Wexford | 48 |
Limerick | 55 | Wicklow | 38 |
I understand that the Tribunal is making every effort to reduce this waiting period, including undertaking a concerted programme of targeting areas where delays occur.
