A hotel has been ordered to pay €5,000 in compensation for discriminating against a bride-to-be from the Traveller Community, who had sought to have her wedding reception at the venue.

The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) heard that the woman had emailed the hotel on July 20, 2019, to enquire about organising the event, indicating that she was flexible about dates.
