The Workplace Relations Commission found against Dermot Kelly on complaints of victimisation and disability discrimination, harassment and failure to provide reasonable accommodation. No compensation was awarded. The decision was dated 1 December 2025. Kelly alleged that delays in handling his grievance amounted to victimisation, and that he had faced disability discrimination and harassment. The WRC found he had not shown that grievance delays were connected to his equality complaints, identified no comparator for the discrimination claim and established no disability-related harassment in the period considered. His reasonable accommodation complaint was also not substantiated because he identified no specific refused request.
