Ms O'Donnell said she took the knitted socks thinking they were on their way to be thrown out when she found them on some boxes in the centre's reception area on a date in November 2022.
Ms O'Donnell explained that she had been in her position as a community worker for some 27 years with an 'unblemished' record and was set to retire in January 2024.
Victoria Stephens of the SIPTU Workers' Rights Centre submitted that her client was left without either her â¬400-a-week wages or her State pension, as she had not reached 66 yet.
Ms Ledger said the woman who knitted the socks was the person who reported they were gone. She said that Ms O'Donnell had been seen on CCTV taking them.
