A man’s claim that Cork University Maternity Hospital discriminated against him because he was unmarried and a man has been rejected as “not well-founded”.
The Workplace Relations Commission made the ruling, despite having “sympathy” for the man who believed he was being "purposefully assigned a lesser parenting role to his daughter than his partner" when he tried to get a heel-prick test for his infant.
