The Equality Officer rejected Latvian mechanic Vadims Jefimovs’s claims of race discrimination in his working conditions and dismissal by Brendan Moran, trading as Clontarf Auto. In a decision dated 16 July 2010, Vivian Jackson found that Irish employees also received no contracts, safety documents or payslips, so Jefimovs was treated similarly. The officer also found insufficient evidence that his nationality influenced his dismissal. Moran said reduced work and performance concerns prompted the termination.
