Rent discrimination victims face long wait for help

Tenants on rent supplement who are discriminated against by landlords will go to the back of a long queue if they make a formal complaint, the body tasked with investigating cases has warned.

The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) says it is inundated with employment cases and queries and does not have the staff to take on new responsibilities.

WRC director general Kieran Mulvey said he was angry the law had been enacted without resources being committed to it.
