The WRC rejected Paul Geoghegan’s complaint that Amazon Data Services (Ireland) Limited discriminated against him in access to employment by failing to accommodate his disability during recruitment. He said delays arranging interview accommodations prevented him completing a technical interview stage. The adjudication officer accepted there was a two-week delay but found Geoghegan had not established a prima facie case of discrimination; the role was never filled. No compensation was awarded.
