Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Workplace Relations Commission found that Gillian Davis had not established discrimination on civil or family status grounds in a complaint about accommodation provided to her family by Peter McVerry Trust. The decision was dated 24 October 2025. Davis said her family received less favourable accommodation after leaving an apartment following a reported safety incident with a neighbouring tenant. The respondent argued that she had not identified a more favourably treated comparator. The WRC said the comparator she cited was also a family with children and found that discrimination had not been shown.
