Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

The Labour Court rejected Patricia Malone’s age discrimination appeal against Trinity College Dublin, leaving no award recorded. In a determination dated 9 September 2024, it varied the WRC decision as set out in the determination. Malone said Trinity prevented her from joining a voluntary income protection and life assurance scheme because she was aged 66 or over. Trinity facilitated the scheme but made no contributions. The Court found she had not identified an act of discrimination under the Employment Equality Acts, so the appeal failed.
