I knew the car business was a cut-throat one but this takes things to a whole new level!
Worker fired, stabbed, days after marrying boss's daughter wins €30,000 (https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2025/1020/1539538-wrc-man-fired-stabbed-after-marrying-bosss-daughter/)
A worker who said he was fired days after marrying his boss's daughter - and was stabbed when he turned up to get his car - has won over €30,000 for unfair dismissal.
The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) made the award in a wholly-anonymised decision on foot of a complaint under the Unfair Dismissals Act 1977.
An adjudicator noted the assaults were still under investigation by An Garda Síochána and that publishing the parties' details might identify an asylum seeker.
The employee was earning €508 a week working at the motor garage, the tribunal noted.
The tribunal heard that in the autumn of 2024, the worker "married the owner's daughter and two days later was dismissed when he was told not to return to work", adjudicator Conor Stokes recorded in his decision.
"He was instructed to return to the garage to collect his car, but was set upon and stabbed when he attended at the appointed hour," Mr Stokes wrote.
"The complainant indicated that this matter and subsequent assaults are with the Gardai for investigation," the adjudicator added.
