Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 May 2018
100. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation if there is a record of the outcome of an appeal by a person (details supplied) to the Employment Appeals Tribunal relative to a bank; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [22971/18]
View answerThe EAT is independent in the exercise of its quasi-judicial function and I have no direct involvement in its day to day operations.
I should point out to that since 1 October 2015, the functions of the Employment Appeals Tribunal (EAT) have been subsumed into the Workplace Relations Commission which now deals with all employment rights claims at first instance, and the Labour Court which is now the sole appellate body.
In advance of the dissolution of the EAT and in accordance with the provisions of the Workplace Relations Act 2015, the EAT is continuing to work through its legacy caseload.
It is my understanding that the EAT has no record of an appeal in the case referred to by the deputy.
