The Labour Court has remitted Mary Mccarthy’s disability discrimination complaint against Boots Retail Ireland Ltd Boots to the Workplace Relations Commission for a full hearing. Its determination was signed on 29 June 2026. McCarthy alleges Boots failed to make reasonable accommodation for her stated disability. The Court found she had a stateable case of discrimination during the relevant period, overturning an earlier ruling that the complaint was out of time. It did not decide whether discrimination occurred.
