Yes the hand brake works in conjunction w/service brake.
If the hand brake is constantly used the Brake Cable does not Seize Up in it's Shaft=Not Releasing.
If you always used the hand brake it should not be the case, if you don't might need a Brake Cable replace.

Just curious do you get snow & slush in Ireland? If you do that may be contributing. Lube the heck out of it.

Maybe try a second Garage/opinion.
