Narimene Saad was awarded €1,500 by the Workplace Relations Commission over race discrimination after a job interview, reported on 16 June 2022.

The adjudicator found that asking Ms Saad where she was from, then pursuing her answer, raised an inference of discrimination. The company was ordered to pay compensation for discriminatory treatment on race grounds.

Her separate claim of discrimination on religious grounds was rejected. The adjudicator found she had not established that the company declined to hire her because she wore a headscarf.
