WRC dismisses complaint against Bank of Ireland witness

The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed Roberto Alamazani’s Equal Status complaint against Paul Bissett Bank of Ireland, The Arena Tallaght. The decision was dated 17 September 2021. Alamazani alleged that a witness gave false and misleading information about a deposit account at an earlier WRC hearing and treated him differently because he was black. The officer found that oral evidence was not a service under the Equal Status Act and that a witness was immune from suit. The complaint was dismissed as misconceived; the merits were not decided.
