#rats – The Labour Court has ordered a marine firm to pay €20,000 to a former employee suffering from post-traumatic stress due to the presence of rats and mice at her workplace as the Irish Independent reports.
In its determination, the Labour Court found that Amanda Byrne was victimised and suffered harassment and a discriminatory dismissal at the hands of her employers, Sea and Shore Safety Services Ltd, Dublin, in a dispute that stemmed from the firm's failure to deal adequately with a rodent problem at its Carrickmines premises.
