Labour Court dismisses Kristine Viksna’s discrimination appeal

The Labour Court dismissed Kristine Viksna’s appeal against a decision rejecting her disability- and race-discrimination complaints against Cardinal Health Ireland Manufacturing Limited. The determination was signed on 9 October 2023, and the Court affirmed the Adjudication Officer’s decision. Viksna alleged discrimination on disability and race grounds, including that her supervisor treated her differently because English was not her first language. The company denied discrimination. The Court found no identified act of discrimination linked to disability during the relevant period and no act linked to race. It therefore dismissed the appeal and affirmed the original decision.
