WRC rules it has no jurisdiction over Rachel Walsh's employment complaint

The Workplace Relations Commission found it had no jurisdiction to decide Rachel Walsh's employment-related discrimination complaint against the HSE National Ambulance Service. The decision was dated 6 August 2026. Walsh alleged disability discrimination and failure to provide reasonable accommodation, saying the service mishandled redeployment and return-to-work measures. The WRC said the complaint was referred under the Equal Status Act as a service-user claim, while the underlying allegations concerned workplace accommodation, outside that Act's scope.
