Rosslare sits on the south Wexford coast, about 9 km south-east of Wexford town, with Broadway a short distance inland and Bridgetown further down the coast. People searching for an employment law solicitor in Rosslare are usually dealing with something specific: a dismissal that feels unfair, a redundancy process that has not been handled properly, or a dispute that has reached the Workplace Relations Commission. We advise both employees and employers from this part of Wexford and can meet by phone, video call or in person as suits you.
Typical Workplace Concerns That Bring Rosslare Clients to Us
Most of the enquiries we receive from this area fall into a small number of categories. Unfair or constructive dismissal comes up regularly, often after a working relationship has broken down over months rather than overnight. Redundancy is another common one, particularly where someone is unsure whether the process followed was fair or whether the role genuinely no longer exists. We also hear from people dealing with bullying or stress at work, grievances that have not been dealt with properly, or discrimination on grounds such as age, disability or family status.
On the employer side, the questions tend to be different but related: how to issue a contract that holds up, how to handle a grievance without making things worse, or what a settlement agreement needs to include to be effective. We also advise on protected disclosures and on data privacy obligations that arise in the course of employing people. The right approach depends heavily on the specific facts, the length of service involved and what has already been said or done, so general rules of thumb only go so far.
How to Start if You Are Dealing With a Workplace Problem
The first step is usually a conversation about what has happened so far, including any letters, emails, contracts or notes you already have. It helps to bring along a rough timeline, even a short one, so we can see how the situation developed and where things stand now. There is no need to have everything perfectly organised before you make contact; part of an initial discussion is working out what is actually relevant and what can wait.
From there, we will explain what options are realistically open to you, what the next steps would involve, and roughly how long that process tends to take, though timeframes vary depending on the matter and any statutory time limits that may apply. We do not promise a particular result, because no solicitor honestly can, but we can set out the legal framework clearly so you are making decisions with full information. If you would like to arrange a consultation, the quickest way is through the contact page on our website.
Covering Rosslare and the South Wexford Coast
We act for clients from Rosslare itself as well as the towns around it, including Broadway roughly 6 km away, Wexford town about 9 km to the north-west, and Bridgetown a little further south again. Being part of County Wexford, in the province of Leinster, this stretch of coast has its own mix of employers, from smaller local businesses to larger operations, and the employment issues that arise tend to reflect that range.
Wherever you are based along this part of the coast, you do not need to travel to a city office to get advice. Meetings can be arranged by phone or video call, with in-person appointments organised where that works better for the matter in hand. Mary Molloy & Company Solicitors maintains offices in Dublin and in Kilkenny, and Richard O’Shea works with clients from across the country through those offices and remotely.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to travel to Dublin or Kilkenny to get advice?
No. Most initial conversations can be handled by phone or video call, and documents can be reviewed by email. In-person meetings can be arranged where that suits the matter better.
How long do I have to bring a claim about something that happened at work?
Time limits depend on the type of claim and the circumstances involved, and they can be shorter than people expect. It is worth getting advice promptly rather than assuming you have plenty of time.
What should I bring to an initial meeting?
Your contract of employment, any relevant emails or letters, and a brief note of what has happened and when are usually the most useful starting point. We can tell you what else might be needed once we understand the situation.
