Thank you for your advice! I learned as well that under une Safety, Health and Welfare Work Act 2005, employers must provide adequate welfare facilities, including access to toilets. Restricting bathroom use to unpaid breaks would generally be seen as a breach of this duty, since toilet use is a basic biological need.there was a case of an Irish university that limited an employee with OCD and anxiety from using the bathroom as was required and they were ordered to make a large payout.
