Alan Haugh
Alan Haugh is a barrister and has served as the deputy chair of the Labour Court since 2015. He has expressed concern over the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's recent decision to block his reappointment, describing it as a significant threat to the independence of the court. Haugh had anticipated a renewal of his five-year contract based on prior assurances from another department, and his departure has raised concerns about the operational capacity of the Labour Court, which handles a substantial volume of cases.
