This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

The Workplace Relations Commission found discrimination against two Traveller boys by Wayside Celtic Football Club in a decision dated 11 June 2024.

The club was ordered to appoint a voluntary community liaison officer, set aside €1,000 for a children’s soccer event open to all, and give each boy a €50 voucher. The WRC said the effects were minimal, but some redress was warranted to support better relations between the parties.
