Procedure:
In accordance with Equal Status Act, 2000, following the referral of the complaints to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaints and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaints.
Background:
The complainant brought claims against several named Gardaí alleging discrimination on the ground of race. |
Summary of Complainant’s Case:
A hearing was arranged for the 15th of September 2021 to hear the evidence in this case and the complainant failed to attend. |
Summary of Respondent’s Case:
The respondents attended the hearing and were ready to present their case. |
Findings and Conclusions:
The complaints were referred to me for investigation. A hearing for that purpose was held on the 15th of September 2021. There was no appearance by the complainant at the hearing. I am satisfied that the complainant was notified of the date and time of the remote hearing having regard to the provisions as set out in the Civil Law and Criminal Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2020 and SI. No. 359/2020. In these circumstances and in the absence of any evidence to the contrary I determined that the complainant was not discriminated against. |
Decision:
Section 25 of the Equal Status Acts, 2000 – 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under section 27 of that Act.
CA 00018649-001 I determine that the complainant was not discriminated against. CA 00018650-001 I determine that the complainant was not discriminated against. |
