Labour Court overturns €5,000 award for architect after ‘male culture’ discrimination case via IrishTimesBiz
Delivering the three-member Labour Court ruling, deputy chairman Alan Haugh stated that the court did not accept Ms Coombes-Lynch’s narrative account in relation to an event on December 11th 2019 that establishes a prima facie case of discrimination on the gender ground.
On behalf of the three member court, Mr Haugh stated that Ms Coombes-Lynch now complains that she was offered such an opportunity on December 11th 2019 which happened to fall during a busy period for her department and she was required to complete her own work in addition to undertaking the site visit.
Mr Haugh stated that when Ms Coombes-Lynch - represented in the case by Peter Leonard BL, instructed by PC Moore & Co Solicitor - returned to the office on the day following her site visit, she says that Mr JM asked her had she enjoyed her day out of the office. The Housing Agency - represented by Tom Mallon BL, instructed by Philip Lee LLP - argued that Ms Coombes-Lynch had failed to adduce any evidence that established facts from which an inference of discrimination on the gender ground could be drawn.
