Daniel Asari was awarded €7,500 by the Workplace Relations Commission after it upheld his complaint of racial discrimination, reported on 28 February 2023.

Adjudicating officer Janet Hughes found that XYZ Retail Ltd was liable for discriminatory treatment at its Galway City filling station. The company was ordered to amend its staff policies within three months, establish a complaints procedure, train managers and supervisors, and state that employee discrimination could lead to dismissal. The company’s account was that a dispute involved a deli sandwich; the decision found the second-night discrimination was racist language, not an unjustified refusal of service on racial grounds.
