There are currently three cases before the Employment Appeals Tribunal involving my Department. One of these cases involves a currently employed civil servant whilst the remaining two cases involve former civil servants. My Department is defending all three claims that have been made. Where any disputes arise with staff in relation to employment issues, my Department seeks to resolve these internally, however, it is open to any employee to seek redress through the State’s formal dispute resolution processes.
