In accordance with Section 79 of the Employment Equality Acts, 1998 - 2015, following the referral of the complaint to me by the Director General, I inquired into the complaint and gave the parties an opportunity to be heard by me and to present to me any evidence relevant to the complaint.

I am satisfied the Complainant was on notice of the hearing.

After waiting a reasonable period of time, the hearing was opened.

Summary of Respondent’s Case:

The Respondent filed detailed submissions in advance of the hearing.

The Respondent attended with four witnesses to dispute the complaint.

Decision:

Section 79 of the Employment Equality Acts, 1998 – 2015 requires that I make a decision in relation to the complaint in accordance with the relevant redress provisions under section 82 of the Act.
