Four female DAA employees at Cork Airport have gender pay discrimination case thrown out by WRC

Four women working for the semi-state body in Cork Airport argued they were paid significantly less than two male comparators, with the DAA refuted 

Representing all four women, Colleen Minihane of the trade union Siptu said they undertook identical work to that of their male colleagues and contended that the pay differential was predicated on gender and therefore discriminatory. 

Four women employed by the DAA at Cork Airport have had gender pay discrimination complaints against the semi-state company thrown out by the Workplace Relations Commission. 

In the four conjoined cases, the context of the complaints centred on four women - Ciara Daly, Rachel Larkin, Siobhan Herlihy and Kelly Ann O'Driscoll - and their "reluctant" covid-related transfer from the information desk to the DAA's airside management unit (AMU), where they joined two male members of staff who were "paid significantly more than female staff."
