Complaint made over refusal to print invites

A printing company which refused to print civil partnership invitations for a gay couple has said that a complaint has been made about the decision to the Equality Tribunal.

Mike O’Leary, of Beulah Print, Drogheda, said that a complaint has been made under the Equal Status Act and it is alleging sexual discrimination.

In March, the Christian-run company defended its decision not to print the invitations for Jonathon Brennan, aged 29, and his partner John Kierans, aged 35, from Drogheda.
