The Labour Court upheld the WRC decision that Anna Lazaridou’s discrimination complaint against Roe & Co Distillery (Diageo Ireland) was out of time. The determination was signed on 21 November 2024. The Court disallowed her appeal and did not hear the merits of the complaint. Lazaridou alleged discrimination on race, family status, age and gender grounds after she was dismissed during probation. She said she delayed filing because she was applying for other jobs with the employer; the Court found that reason did not explain or excuse the delay.
