Sum awarded to Sankalpa’s most senior employee represents more than one-eighth of funding charity got in last year she worked there

The tribunal heard that Ms Ambrose was suspended following “unfounded” claims by a Community Employment assistant supervisor, Ms Y.

This was denied by a director who gave evidence for Sankalpa, Sandra Kernan, who said it “did the right thing” in suspending Ms Ambrose and that the witness’ recollection of the July meeting was that it was “positive”, with “no raised voices”. The same month, she contacted a local TD, as the charity’s credit card was locked and it could not pay its suppliers, the complainant said.

WRC adjudicator Kevin Baneham noted that three of the witnesses who supported Ms Ambrose over the course of five days of hearings in the matter also quit Sankalpa at the same time as the complainant in October 2020.
