Gary Prendergast was awarded €15,000 for age discrimination by the Workplace Relations Commission, reported on 18 April 2024.

The complaint concerned his employer’s failure to replace a broken electric litter cart with a motorised one at the Park West business campus in Dublin.

The WRC found that using the manual cart placed him at a significant disadvantage because of his age and upheld his complaint under the Employment Equality Act 1998.
