Her ex-boss maintained there had been no dismissal - claiming the worker left"happy" and that she had paid what she termed a"golden handshake" - a payment of €300.
Ms Kavanagh said a woman introduced herself as the new owner on Monday 26 June and said she wanted the worker to perform a number of"additional tasks". Ms Kavanagh said her message was"not received very well" by the employer and that she was told to find a new job by replying text. The witness stated further that she needed staff and that Ms Kavanagh was"happy when she left the job", he noted.
Mr McGrath said that within 25 minutes of dismissing Ms Kavanagh, the employer wrote again telling her there had been a"misunderstanding" and referring to an offer of a new contract.
