It's terrible for the person, but being on parental leave can't make your role immune from being made redundant, so what was the employer meant to do? Unless the claim is she was singled out in which case, yes, obviously illegal if true.

Payout their maternity leave? Run a transparent and proper process? Allow the work that’s funded by the external source to be completed?

I assume they would have to pay out her maternity leave, was that not the case?
