Unfair Dismissals Acts, 1977–2015 (Ireland)

Under the Unfair Dismissals Acts 1977–2015, unfair dismissal can occur where either:

• The employer terminates the contract of employment, with or without notice
• The employee terminates the contract of employment, with or without notice, due to the conduct of the employer. This is known as constructive dismissal.
