WRC rejects age and gender discrimination complaint over two interviews

The Workplace Relations Commission found that CPL Solutions Ltd did not discriminate against Philip Matthew O'Malley on age or gender grounds in two interviews for remote roles. The decision was dated 31 January 2023. O'Malley said he was disappointed with the interview notes and thought his answers had been better than recorded. CPL Solutions said he had not made out a case of discrimination, citing an outdated CV, difficulty obtaining answers and a dismissive response. The adjudication officer said some answers at the first interview had been underscored, but found no indication this was because of age or gender. The complaint was not well founded.
