Fired company CEO who was ‘beyond reproach’ wins €183,000 award at WRC


Gilliganwas dismissed without contractual notice from his €200,000-a-year job as chief executive of the Co Kildare-based firm at a shareholders’ meeting in November 2024, the tribunal heard. He told the WRC he had been appointed CEO of the business, 50 per cent of which was owned by Teamport Ltd, in 2022. “Subcontractors were not being paid or preferred for payment, which resulted in them downing tools,” he told the WRC. On the day of the EGM, November 8th, 2024, Gilligan recused himself. “I am satisfied… that the complainant’s conduct was beyond reproach,” she added, rejecting the firm’s stance that Gilligan contributed to the dismissal.
