Payout ruling over ‘anti-Irish’ job panel

A WOMAN in England has been awarded compensation after an employment adjudicator ruled she was discriminated against because she was Irish.

Northern Irish woman, Dr Pat Walls, was awarded £35,000 (€51,377) in a unanimous ruling by the British Employment Appeals tribunal.

She instituted the case because she felt Warwick University was promoting lesser qualified people on the grounds of race.
