Summary
Autistic former Omniplex Cork manager Dylan ORiordan wins landmark compensation—now set to receive €29,000, more than double the original award—after the Labour Court ruled his employer failed to properly accommodate his mental health needs, including autism-related shutdown risks and unreasonable scheduling demands. His proactive efforts to secure workplace adjustments were ignored, and the court found Omniplex wasn’t genuinely committed to his return, ultimately awarding him a full year’s salary for the discrimination he endured.
