Judyta Zielinska lost her religious discrimination claim against the HSE at the Labour Court, reported on 13 February 2026.

The Labour Court upheld the Workplace Relations Commission’s 2024 finding that the HSE did not discriminate over requests for Zielinska to accompany residents to Mass.

Deputy chairwoman Katie Connolly found Zielinska had not presented sufficient facts to establish direct or indirect discrimination or victimisation.

The court found she did not support residents at Mass during the relevant complaint period and had not shown less favourable treatment because of her religion.
