WRC dismisses religious discrimination complaint against Bank of Ireland as misconceived

The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed Leon O'Connor's religious discrimination complaint against The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland, finding it misconceived. The decision was dated 27 November 2023. O'Connor alleged discrimination on religious grounds. The adjudication officer found that the complaint narrative alleged discrimination by the Irish Government and unspecified entities, not by the named respondent. The bank said O'Connor had not established facts from which discrimination could be inferred.
