Adjudication Officer Úna Glazier-Farmer’s decision was dated 13 October 2022; the merits were not decided. The complainant alleged discrimination, harassment and victimisation linked to the department’s connection to a Labour Court case. The officer found he had not sought to use a service the department offered to the public, and dismissed the claim under section 22 of the Equal Status Act.
