A banker who spent decades moonlighting as a barman at a Dublin pub ended up being sacked twice in one year after a senior manager at AIB read about his unfair dismissal from his after-hours pub job in a news report, a tribunal has heard.
The bank served notice of termination on the worker, Alan Ecock, a week after he won €25,000 in December 2023 for what the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) found to be a “heartless” and “completely unlawful” unfair dismissal from Kavanagh’s Pub in Stoneybatter, Dublin 7.
