IrelandA former senior manager at ABP Food Group, Emmanuel Keenan, claims he was unfairly dismissed from his €200,000-per-year position two years ago. His case is proceeding publicly before the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), despite the company's attempt to hold the hearing privately. During the initial hearing, the press was temporarily removed while the company sought to anonymize the case and conduct it in private, but this request was denied. Keenan, who worked for the company for over 36 years, is challenging his termination under the Unfair Dismissals Act 1977 and the Terms of Employment (Information) Act 1994. The case will be heard in public over five days in December.
