The Equality Tribunal found in favour of Kilkee Bay Hotel Limited on Mary Hanrahan’s claim that she was dismissed because of her age. The decision was dated 2 November 2010; the hotel was in voluntary liquidation and did not attend the hearing. Hanrahan said she was dismissed after a customer complained about an apartment’s cleanliness and believed younger staff had not been treated the same way. The Equality Officer found gaps and uncertainty in the evidence about her role, her colleagues and the incident, and concluded there was not enough evidence to infer age discrimination. The Tribunal said it had no jurisdiction to decide whether the dismissal was otherwise unfair.
