The Workplace Relations Commission has ordered Lantern Events Limited to pay Maria Casey €3,000 after finding the company failed to accommodate her and her partner at a concert. The decision was dated 3 January 2023. Casey and her partner needed seats because of mobility difficulties, but their request was not resolved and they could not attend. The organiser said booth access involved three steps and an insurance risk. The adjudication officer found it had not replied to Casey’s emails or explored possible solutions, and that the couple were treated less favourably because of their disabilities.
