The Employment Appeals Tribunal has confirmed that it does not have any record of correspondence from or relating to the person concerned.

At present, the estimated waiting time for Employment Appeals Tribunal hearings is 86 weeks from receipt of application. In July 2011, I announced my intention to streamline the State's five employment rights bodies, including the Employment Appeals Tribunal, and to produce a simpler, more effective system, including a single point of entry for all users of the State's employment rights machinery. It is anticipated that, on completion, this system will produce a speedier and more efficient claims resolution process that will benefit employers and employees alike.
