Drop in waiting time for Employment Appeals Tribunal
There has been a significant drop in the average waiting time for a case to go before the Employment Appeals Tribunal, it was revealed today.
The body's annual report for 2007 shows the waiting period for areas outside Dublin was reduced to 32 weeks, down from just less than 12 months.
In the capital, there was a fall from 20 weeks to 14.
The tribunal's main function is to adjudicate on unfair dismissal claims, representing around 95% of the body's work.
