Thomas Greaney was awarded €25,000 for disability discrimination by the Workplace Relations Commission. The proceedings were reported on 7 February 2025.

The WRC found Galway City Council made no adequate effort to accommodate him after he took sick leave linked to stress and anxiety.

The adjudicator said separating Greaney from his supervisor could have been a reasonable accommodation, but it did not happen.

At a hearing in May 2024, it was submitted that Greaney still had to see his supervisor at work.
