Minister opens Sligo WRC office

MINISTER Joe McHugh T. D., today formally opened the Sligo Regional Services Office of the Workplace Relations Commission at Marino House, Finisklin Business Park on Monday.

Speaking at the event, the Minister said: “It is a very significant moment, as it represents the first step in the WRC extending its full range of services across all of its regional offices to ensure that the same services provided in Dublin are available across the country. I believe this to be a very welcome development and one I fully support.”

“From a rural Ireland perspective, it is important that complainants and respondents do not have to travel punishing distances to have cases heard and this development is good news for everyone concerned.”

The Director General of the WRC, Ms. Oonagh Buckley, Director General of the WRC, noted that this development was important as “the WRC is anxious to ensure that its full range of services – conciliation, adjudication, mediation, and inspection are available to clients in all our offices.”
