What kind of job do you have that allows you to go on two week holiday after being employed only 4 months? In the States, we give 1 week after 12 months, 2 weeks after 2 years on the job.
Get off your *** and get to work rather than spending time on yahoo. You're lucky you didn't get fired.

I assume that your holiday was agreed by your employer. And also that your work was 100% up-to-date before you left - of if not, instructions had been left with someone to deal whilst you were away.
If this is the case then I would say they are being a bit unfair. They cannot expect you to do your work whilst you are on holiday!
But are you telling the whole story? Or are you just working for a totally unreasonable employer - in which case I would start looking for something else.
If there are training issues then I suggest you speak to your supervisor - calmly - and explain that you feel you need extra training in certain areas to enable you to do your job properly. You don't say what your job is though.

Not sure about Irish law on these things. The questions this leads me to ask though are:
- Is the person on probation?
- Is the person over 2 weeks behind on their work?
- Can they prove they have not been trained?
- Have they asked for help?
- Did someone cover their work whilst they were away on holiday?
Sounds to me like the person must be way behind and not have a clue what they are doing and this has somehow been uncovered whilst they were away.

Not sure about a law against it, but if you feel strongly about it do not accept the warning. You should have a grievance procedure type thing but do you want to rock the boat. Maybe grin n bear it this time.

Certainly complain if you're work was up to date when you left and they've not trained you sufficiently.

It depends on your local laws.
