WRC ends Amy Finn’s discrimination complaint after hearing non-attendance

The Workplace Relations Commission ended Amy Finn’s discrimination complaint against Safe Ireland after she failed to attend a hearing. The decision, dated 18 June 2026, records that the adjudication officer found against Finn because no evidence supporting the allegations was given at the hearing. Under the supplied rules, this was a procedural ending; the merits were not decided. No award was recorded. Finn said Safe Ireland had offered her a part-time Domestic Violence Support Worker role subject to references. She alleged indirect discrimination after former employers supplied employment confirmations rather than the written references Safe Ireland sought. The organisation said the role involved direct work with vulnerable women and children and required enhanced vetting and references to assess applicants’ suitability.
