Kildare Sports and Leisure Facilities Limited wins race discrimination case

By Niamh Kearney

Workplace Relations Commission ·

The WRC found that Kildare Sports and Leisure Facilities Limited did not discriminate against a gym instructor in her working conditions or dismissal, and did not harass her. The decision was dated 27 April 2018. The complainant alleged she was denied opportunities to teach classes, faced racist treatment from customers and a supervisor, and was dismissed after raising concerns. The company said customer feedback and repeated lateness reflected performance problems. The officer accepted that performance issues led to the dismissal and found no evidence linking the treatment to race.
