'We're facing into Christmas and I don't have my money' - worker unfairly dismissed by TD Violet-Anne Wynne still waiting on 11,500 compensation
Briefly

Fiona Smyth, who previously served as an assistant to Independent TD Violet-Anne Wynne, is pursuing legal action to receive compensation for her alleged unfair dismissal. The dissatisfaction arises from Wynne's failure to pay the €11,500 awarded by the Workplace Relations Commission, prompting Smyth to seek a court order to enforce the payment.
In her application, Fiona Smyth cited Wynne's lack of payment as a violation of the Workplace Relations Commission's decision, calling for a formal order to ensure she receives the compensation she is owed.
Despite acknowledging the outstanding amount, Wynne has stated that she does not currently possess the full sum yet expresses intent to pay the awarded compensation at a future date.
The case highlights the legal pathways available for former employees seeking enforcement of compensation orders, particularly in regard to decisions made by the Workplace Relations Commission.
