Labour Court operations face severe impact after the Department of Public Expenditure blocked the reappointment of a senior official. The blocked reappointment has left the court running at one-third capacity. Legal professionals working in employment law have been informed there will be serious delays to the hearing of individual employment rights cases and to the resolution of industrial relations disputes, starting this week. The capacity shortfall will reduce the court's ability to schedule and progress cases. The operational constraints are expected to produce significant delays in adjudication and dispute resolution within the employment sector.
