The Workplace Relations Commission rejected Oxana Farima’s complaint against Longford and Westmeath Education and Training Board, finding she had not established disability discrimination or a failure to provide reasonable accommodation. The decision was dated 22 January 2026. Farima alleged discrimination in the provision of education services, including over exam scheduling and comments by a teacher. The board said it granted her request to change exam dates and approved extra time after receiving supporting documentation. The adjudicator found the exam date request had been accommodated and extra time provided.
