WRC rejects discrimination complaint against Clare County Council

By Niamh Kearney

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The WRC found Mary O'Donoghue’s complaint over the refusal of a portable toilet and related sanitary services was not well founded against Clare County Council. O'Donoghue alleged discrimination on Traveller community, disability and race grounds. The Commission found the Department of Social Protection, through a Community Welfare Officer, made the decision; the Council was not the service provider or decision-maker. The complaint was accepted as within time. No compensation was awarded.
