A hotel has brought a High Court challenge seeking to overturn a finding by the WRC that it discriminated against a member of the Traveller community and should pay her €15,000 in compensation.

The Bunratty Castle Hotel, which is located close to Shannon Airport in Co Clare, claims the finding is flawed and should be set aside.
