Dismissal of employee criticised for ‘foolishness’ and ‘unlawfulness’ of actions
Giving evidence in her complaint under the Employment Equality Act 1998 against Easy Meals Ltd, a takeaway food business in Millstreet, Co Cork, Stacey Barrett said her line manager had made “pointed” remarks referring to working while pregnant in the weeks prior to her dismissal.
After her visit to hospital on 1st February that year, Ms Barrett said she went back to work the following day in the hope that new medication for morning sickness would gradually take effect.“I couldn’t believe that she was brazen enough to say it,” the complainant said. “I’ve got a business to look after and can’t be left stuck . . . I’m sorry. All the best in your pregnancy,” the letter read.
However, she accepted the counterargument of Ms Barrett’s barrister, Seamus Collins BL, appearing instructed by Sean Ormonde & Co, that there was no prejudice to the respondent in amending the complaint form to refer to Easy Meals Ltd.
