Former election candidate claims he was unfairly sacked after whistleblower move

Tony Corrigan, a former independent candidate in the Dublin Central by-election, is challenging his termination from Identity Digital Ltd through the Workplace Relations Commission, claiming unfair dismissal linked to his whistleblower status. Corrigan alleges he was placed on a performance improvement plan and faced disciplinary action shortly after raising concerns in June 2024. He further claims the company withheld salary payments during November 2024 to February 2025, calling the situation 'pure vindictiveness.' The company's legal representative denied these allegations, calling them 'complete fantasy' and stating their actions were lawful. Legal proceedings continue, with the adjudication officer noting potential issues with the timing of some claims.
