The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

In this episode of the Matheson Employment Law Podcast Series, Bryan Dunne, Head of Employment, reviews the Irish High Court decision of Philip Nolan and Science Foundation Ireland from last June. This was an application for an injunction to restrain a dismissal, following an investigation into certain allegations against the plaintiff.

Bryan takes a look at the various employment law issues arising out of this case, including further clarification on when an employer must apply fair procedures, and whether there are circumstances where an employer is better off strategically to call out performance or other workplace issues relating to the employee, rather than take a pure no fault termination approach.…

Since this recording, we have clarified that the continuation of the Common Travel Area will not require amending legislation. However, there is a concern that post-Brexit, the issue of the 50 / 50 rule, outlined in the Employment Permits Act, whereby the Department of Business will not issue or renew an employment permit where the employer has less than 50% of its employees of EEA/Swiss nationality, will operate to exclude British nationals. This could mean that employers who are currently eligible to obtain an employment permit would become ineligible overnight with a consequent impact on their ability to renew any already-issued employment permit they hold, whether for British or non-EU nationals. Should a Brexit withdrawal agreement be reached, Section 91 of the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Act 2019 as it currently stands would continue to include UK nationals as EEA nationals. However this would not apply in the instance of a no-deal Brexit.…

vor 7 years21:30

The new EU Directive on the activities and supervision of institutions for occupational retirement provision (commonly known as “IORP II”) is due to be transposed into Irish law by 13 January 2019. Amongst other things, IORP II seeks to improve the governance of pension schemes and promote risk-based supervision. When implemented, it will require significant changes to be made by many Irish pension schemes. In this episode, Deirdre and Jane discuss the aspects of the Directive that are likely to impact most on Irish pension schemes. In the absence of draft implementing legislation at national level, they consider what guidance can be offered by recent pensions related consultation papers and Pensions Authority guidance in relation to the likely approach to be taken in implementing the Directive. They also provide insight on steps that trustees can start taking now to prepare for the changes to come.…

In particular, the podcast looks at what these decisions means for you as employers and asks whether this legislation, and the threat of a trade union seeking an order for improved terms from the Labour Court, is still something employers need to be overly concerned about into the future or if it is now clear the trade unions themselves have given up on this route.…

Bryan Dunne revisits the High Court's decision in Lyons v Longford Westmeath Education and Training Board, a decision that has been extremely controversial over the past number of weeks for both employment lawyers and HR directors. This is because, in that case, Judge Eagar in the High Court seemed to suggest that an employee is entitled to the full range of fair procedures at the disciplinary investigation stage, including the right to cross-examine witnesses and the right to be legally represented. Since that decision was issued on 7 May last, two new decisions of the High Court have issued from Judge McDermott in the last six weeks and both of those decisions, depending on how you interpret the Lyons decision, appear to contradict the key point. They both deal with the same question as to the extent to which an employee is entitled to fair procedures at the preliminary investigation stage. However, they both conclude that this right is confined to the formal disciplinary hearing stage; the point at which a decision is made in relation to the disciplinary matter.…

In this latest episode of the Matheson Employment Law Podcast Series, Bryan discusses a decision of the High Court from May of this year, which held that employees are entitled to both the right to cross-examine witnesses and the right to legal representation at the preliminary investigation stage of a disciplinary process. Based on earlier case law on the issue of fair procedures, as also identified in this case, this may not be seen as such a striking legal development, if at the stage in the disciplinary process where the employer is deciding whether the allegations are proven and if so, what sanction should be applied. However, in terms of actual HR and employment law current practice, if the investigation is no more than a fact gathering exercise to decide if the matter should go to a disciplinary hearing. This would require the majority of employers to adapt their practices to allow for both cross-examination and legal representation at investigation meetings, as well as potentially other aspects of fair procedures also. Bryan also discusses updates on mandatory retirement ages and the positive impact for employers in the Supreme Court decision on what constitutes bullying in Ruffley v Board of Management of St Anne’s School.…
