In evidence, Mr Walsh described being invited to a Microsoft Teams meeting on April 27th last year with the subject line “Ireland Team Meeting”, but that his manager was uninvited from the call and the firm’s HR director added. In her evidence, Ms Weston said Mr Walsh’s manager, who was also made redundant, had asked for an ex-gratia payment on top of the statutory redundancy lump sum, and received it. “If your client had asked, I would have been happy to give it,” she said.
She also said it was not possible to offer an alternative role, and that the company’s Irish clients are now handled by a single administrator.
