Tribunal: Charity victimised manager

A charity providing services for people with intellectual disabilities has been ordered to pay one of its managers €45,000 in compensation after the Equality Tribunal ruled she had been victimised.

The tribunal found the Brothers of Charity Services (Clare) had breached the Employment Equality Act in its treatment of Mary Kealy, director of regional services in Co Clare.

It ruled Ms Kealy had been victimised over the charity’s failure to provide her with a draft copy of a review of its services in Co Clare when it had given one to the Clare division.
