Mr. Gartland was awarded over €64,000 after filing complaints against Dundalk FC for multiple employment law violations following his dismissal in May 2024. The case was addressed without the club's management present, and the adjudicator determined the club was aware of the claims ahead of time. He pointed out Mr. Gartland's protected disclosures regarding health and safety concerns about the new manager's condition, which he felt jeopardized player health and injury management during their tenure as co-managers.
Mr Gartland's complaints to the Workplace Relations Commission led to a significant compensation victory, highlighting serious breaches of employment law by Dundalk FC.
The adjudicator emphasized that Dundalk FC's management had been notified of the complaints well in advance yet chose not to participate in the proceedings.
Concerns raised by Mr Gartland about health and safety issues, specifically regarding the new manager's condition and injury prevention, were pivotal in the case.
Mr Gartland revealed that player welfare was compromised by being overruled on team selections, resulting in detrimental effects on player health.
