'Too old' at 50: Sacked worker wins £25,000 payout from former boss

A dry-cleaning shop owner has been ordered to pay almost £25,000 to a woman employee he sacked after she brought a successful age discrimination case against him.

An industrial tribunal ruled that the core reason Ufuoma Obahor fired Anna Stirrup from Summers Dry Cleaners in Cookstown, Co Tyrone, was because she had made the complaint.
