Irish Rail challenges discrimination ruling
The tribunal ruled earlier this month that the company discriminated against Monica Murphy, who has worked for the company since 1971, on the basis of her gender by not providing her with promotional opportunities. The company had rejected all allegations of discrimination in its evidence to the tribunal.
In its proceedings Iarnród Éireann are seeking orders that the tribunal’s decision should be quashed on grounds including that the equality officer who ruled on the matter had made presumptions that she was not entitled to do.
