Procedure:
A complaint was received by the Director General of the Workplace Relations Commission on 22 July 2024 from Ms. Danielle Cristine Souto alleging that the Respondent, Abtran, contravened the provisions of Section 77 of the Employment Equality Act, 1998. The said complaint was referred to me for investigation.
A hearing for that purpose was convened on 30 January 2025.
There was no appearance by or on behalf of the complainant at the hearing.
Mr. James Cleary, IBEC was present to represent the Respondent, together with colleagues from IBEC, Ms. Hannah Rowe and Ms. Alison McComiskey. Ms. Ava Fitzgerald, Senior HR Business Partner and Mr. Darren Foley, Operations Manager attended on behalf of the Respondent.
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.
The Complainant did not attend the hearing. The Adjudicator was satisfied that notice containing the details of the date, time and place of the hearing had been properly communicated to the Respondent.
As no further communication was received at the time of finalising this decision and in the context that I am satisfied that the said complainant was informed in writing of the arrangements for the hearing and in the absence of any explanation for her non-attendance, I must conclude that the within complaint is not well-founded and I decide accordingly.
