Clare TD Violet-Anne Wynne says she 'had to act' as she is ordered to pay former secretary 11,500 in unfair dismissal case
Briefly

The adjudicator found that Ms Wynne 'failed to engage in any procedures prior to dismissal, failed to provide the complainant with a reason for the dismissal, failed to provide an appeals process and would not engage with mediation.' This highlights the lack of due process in the dismissal.
Ms Smyth expressed her feelings after the decision, stating, 'The outcome that we have achieved at the WRC recognises that what was done to me was wrong and that means more than anything.' This reflects the significance of the ruling for her.
Ms Wynne remarked, 'I knew from the outset that this would be seen as an unfair dismissal. I had to take action either way.' This statement sheds light on her perspective regarding the dismissal process.
Ms Smyth also noted, 'I am so grateful for the support, guidance and representation received from my union throughout this exceptionally stressful experience.' This underscores the importance of union support in employment disputes.
