Bus company falsely claimed driver used racial slur

Statements produced to the Workplace Relations Commission by Blue Line Coaches Ltd, trading as Nolan Coaches in the case accused the driver, Martin Cormican, of referring to an employee of a client company using a racial slur.

The company’s case, set out by Emma Cassidy BL on the instructions of solicitor Setanta Landers, had been that Mr Cormican was"lawfully dismissed on the grounds of gross misconduct", a position also rejected by the tribunal. Mr O’Toole said that Mr Cormican"admitted using this language" at a meeting the following day, was dismissed by a company director and did not appeal his sacking.

In his decision, adjudicating officer Kevin Baneham wrote that the most significant conflict of evidence in the case was the alleged use of a racial slur.
