The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed Mark J. Savage’s religious-discrimination complaint against Swords Specsavers Limited. The decision was dated 20 January 2025. Savage alleged he was refused service and asked to leave a Swords store after declining to wear a face mask, saying this conflicted with his religious beliefs. The company said it followed public-health guidance and gave a competing account of the incident. The adjudicator found the complaint was not well-founded, saying disbelief in the pandemic was not inherently a religious belief.
