Disability centre wants 'anonymisation' for tribunal hearing on worker's penalisation claims
Summary
A disability centre in Carlow has requested that a tribunal impose reporting restrictions, citing "very sensitive issues" after a worker, Sandra Browne, was accused of penalising her for raising safety complaints. The Workplace Relations Commission noted that a prior agreement on a series of penalisation and discrimination claims brought by Browne against the Delta Centre CLG had not been fulfilled. Browne's statutory complaints under the Protected Disclosures Act 2014, the Health, Safety and Welfare at Work Act 2005, the Industrial Relations (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2004 and the Employment Equality Act 1998 are now set to proceed to a full hearing later this year. The tribunal adjourned the case pending the arrangement of hearing dates at the WRC's offices in Carlow in the winter. The centre's legal filings ran to 1,000 pages, and Browne is self‑represented.
