The Labour Court dismissed Harry Phelan’s disability discrimination appeal against Tusla – Child & Family Agency, finding his complaints not well-founded. The determination was signed on 29 January 2026. Phelan argued that requiring annual or unpaid leave to attend a recommended programme was discriminatory and that Tusla failed to make reasonable accommodation. The Court found he had not established less favourable treatment and that Tusla met its accommodation obligation by offering access to a flexitime scheme.
