WRC dismisses Leon O’Connor’s complaint against National Treasury Management Agency

The WRC dismissed Leon O’Connor’s religious discrimination complaint against the National Treasury Management Agency as misconceived. The decision was dated 27 November 2023. O’Connor alleged religious discrimination. The Agency said his complaint did not set out an arguable basis for a claim and sought its dismissal under section 77A(1) of the Employment Equality Acts. The Adjudication Officer found O’Connor’s complaint narrative accused the Irish Government and unspecified entities, rather than the Agency named as respondent. The complaint was dismissed under section 77A(1); the merits of the discrimination allegation were not decided.
