WRC rejects Noel Mc Grath’s discrimination complaint against Homeland

The Workplace Relations Commission found Noel Mc Grath’s Equal Status complaint against Aurivo Co-Operative Society Limited-Homeland not well founded. The decision was dated 8 June 2022. Mc Grath said staff refused to serve him at the company’s Belmullet store when he was not wearing a face mask, and alleged disability discrimination and a failure to provide reasonable accommodation. The officer found Mc Grath did not mention a disability or medical reason during the exchanges before he was served. The refusal to serve him was not related to a disability, the officer found, so discrimination had not occurred.
