WRC rejects complaint against Clare County Council over portable toilet funding

By Gráinne Nolan

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found Cornelius O'Donoghue’s Equal Status Act complaint against Clare County Council was not well founded. The decision was dated 30 April 2025. O'Donoghue’s complaint concerned alleged discrimination linked to the refusal of funding for a portable toilet. The WRC accepted that the referral was within time but found that the Department of Social Protection, through a Community Welfare Officer, provided the service and made the funding decision. The council was neither the service provider nor the decision-maker.
