Workplace Relations Commission ·

The Workplace Relations Commission rejected two age discrimination complaints brought by Denise Murphy against Royal College Of Surgeons in Ireland, with no compensation awarded. In a decision dated 14 July 2025, adjudication officer Penelope McGrath found that the college’s retirement policy was the underlying reason Murphy’s employment ended, but accepted its objective justification for a normal retirement age of 65.
