Summary
In March 2024, FP McCann, a manufacturing firm from County Londonderry, was wrongly accused by the UK Home Office of employing illegal workers at a site in Wales, facing a potential fine of up to £225,000. However, after reviewing the evidence, the Home Office issued a "no action notice" in April, confirming the company was not liable.

In May 2025, at the High Court in Belfast, the Home Office publicly apologized to FP McCann and its directors for making "false and defamatory" allegations in a press release. The government agreed to pay substantial damages and legal costs, acknowledging that the contractors were legally entitled to work. FP McCann expressed relief at resolving the matter.
