The dismissal by five-star hotel Ashford Castle of a concierge after he had been off sick for three years has been deemed fair. During his time off sick, Ashford Castle referred Mr McCormack on five occasions for occupational health assessments. General Manager at Ashford Castle, Niall Rochford met with Mr McCormack on December 7, 2016, to hear his grievances. On January 10, 2017, Mr Rochford set out his findings in respect of the 48 grievances that Mr McCormack had articulated. Mr McCormack submitted an appeal concerning Mr Rochford's findings but did not attend the meeting scheduled to hear his appeal.
