Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found Margaret McDonagh’s discrimination complaint against Cork City Council was brought outside the statutory time limit and was not well founded; the merits were not decided. McDonagh alleged that the council’s housing allocation system discriminated against her as a member of the Traveller community. The WRC decision, dated 11 July 2023, said it could not investigate beyond the preliminary time-limit issue.
