"The United Arab Emirates ambassador has been ordered to pay three former employees almost a quarter of a million euro for breaches of work rights.
The Employment Appeals Tribunal accepted evidence that the women from the Philippines were forced to work 15 hours a day, seven days a week for €170 per month.
The tribunal described these conditions as horrific and awarded each claimant €80,000.
The ambassador did not attend the hearing but an embassy spokesperson said he would be pleading diplomatic immunity."
