In accordance with Section 41 of the Workplace Relations Act, 2015 following the referral of the complaint to me by the Director General, I was available to inquire into the complaint and to give the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaint.

I established that the complainant was on notice of the date and time of the hearing of his complaint. I also waited for approximately 20 minutes in the event that the complainant had been delayed. There was no further contact from the complainant.
