The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Francisca Ehiguese’s race discrimination complaint against the Health Services Executive over her dismissal. The decision was dated 28 November 2024. Ehiguese alleged that race discrimination culminated in her dismissal after a disciplinary process that began following a 2020 incident. The HSE said the dismissal followed serious misconduct and agreed procedures; its case concerned her response to a manager’s request to remove an item from her mouth and her call to Gardaí. The adjudicator found no evidence that race influenced the dismissal and said Ehiguese had not raised an inference of discrimination. No award was recorded.
