Robert Flynn won €8,000 in disability discrimination and victimisation at the Workplace Relations Commission, reported on 10 February 2025. The dispute concerned shower facilities at West Wood Club in Sandymount, Dublin.

Adjudicator Roger McGrath found the club failed to provide reasonable accommodation after Mr Flynn raised concerns about the shower. He ordered €5,000 compensation for disability discrimination and €3,000 for victimisation.

The WRC also directed the club to re-evaluate its shower facilities and do what was required to ensure compliance with the Equal Status Act.
