The matter referred to by the Deputy involved two appeals to the Labour Court. The first concerned an appeal pursuant to the Industrial Relations Acts, 1946 to 2004. The second concerned an appeal of an earlier decision of a Rights Commissioner pursuant to the Protection of Employees (Part-Time Work) Act 2001.

The Labour Court hearing was held in June 2010.

The Department's position was upheld, as the appeals were disallowed and the decision of the Rights Commissioner was affirmed by the Labour Court.
