WRC dismisses Sarah Mangan’s disability discrimination complaint after she misses hearing

The Workplace Relations Commission found a disability discrimination complaint by Sarah Mangan against the Public Appointments Service was not well founded after Mangan did not attend the hearing; the merits were not decided. The decision was dated 6 September 2023. Mangan alleged discrimination in the assessment process and pre-employment clearance for a Temporary Clerical Officer role on two occasions. The respondent attended and disputed the allegations. The adjudicator said no evidence had been heard in support of Mangan’s allegations and that her failure to attend was unreasonable.
