Workplace Relations Commission ·

A WRC adjudication officer found Colm Faherty’s discrimination complaint against West Wood Club CLG failed after Faherty did not attend the hearing; the merits were not decided. The decision was dated 18 April 2023. Faherty alleged that club staff discriminated against him by asking him to wear a facemask after he said he was exempt. The club had legal representation and intended to defend the complaint. The officer received no evidence from Faherty, found no prima facie case of discrimination and was not satisfied that the club engaged in the alleged prohibited conduct.
