The Labour Court disallowed Patricia Buckley and Catherine Buckley’s appeal over a cleaner/general assistant job at Moate House Care & Convalescent Centre, finding no discrimination on gender, marital-status or disability grounds. It affirmed the Equality Officer’s decision. The Centre said two existing employees took on the duties after their hours were due to be reduced, so no interviews were held. The Court accepted documentary evidence supporting that explanation. It signed its determination on 4 August 2005.
