WRC finds Traveller family’s accommodation complaint was out of time

The Workplace Relations Commission found a complaint alleging discrimination and harassment over a Traveller family’s accommodation needs was brought outside the time limit. The decision was dated 10 August 2023. The complaint concerned alleged conduct beginning in 2015, including unsafe living conditions described by a witness. The WRC found the County Council was the correct respondent, but the complaint was lodged in June 2018 after a notification in February 2016. The merits were not decided.
