The Workplace Relations Commission found Michael Bohan’s age-related equal-pay complaint against Barna Recycling Ltd was not well founded. The decision was dated 9 September 2024, and no award was made. Bohan, a driver in County Galway, suspected that he was paid less than comparable drivers because of his age after receiving no clear answer to his pay queries. The company said pay differences reflected factors including length of service, market conditions and, in a small number of cases, exceptional performance or extra responsibilities. The adjudication officer found there were insufficient facts to support that Bohan was paid less than others or that any difference was because of age. The decision records that he earned €15.75 an hour.
