I am advised by my officials in the Irish Prison Service that a decision of the Workplace Relations Commission to award €30,000 to the individual concerned was appealed by the Irish Prison Service to the Labour Court.
I am further advised that on 20th April 2022 the Labour Court set aside the Workplace Relations Commission decision, on that basis, no payment has been made nor is any payment pending.
