The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed Claire Walsh’s gender discrimination complaint against Allied Irish Bank Aib, finding it had no jurisdiction to decide the case. The decision was dated 9 December 2022. Walsh, a director of a subsidiary, alleged that a male director received payment while she did not. The WRC found that the dispute concerned remuneration in an occupational and private contractual relationship, rather than a service available to the public or a section of it. The complaint was brought under the Equal Status Act 2000 and was dismissed as misconceived; the merits were not decided.
