Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission dismissed Alan Melia’s age discrimination complaint against An Garda Síochána, finding it frivolous and lacking legal merit. The decision was dated 8 April 2025. Melia alleged that refusing his request for an analogous grade and salary review before moving to a Civil Service ICT role amounted to age discrimination. The WRC said he provided no valid comparator or primary facts to support an inference of discrimination. No monetary award was recorded.
