Claim was rejected by Labour Court
Don Culliton, director of custody, security and operations at the Irish Prison Service, was appealing a decision by the Workplace Relations Commission last January to reject claims of age discrimination that he was discriminated against on the basis of age because he was paid some €32,000 a year less than another director with comparable responsibilities who was five years older than him.
A former director general of the service, Brian Purcell, explained that Mr Black’s larger remuneration was rooted in a decision in the early 1990s to increase the pay of the organisation’s then director of medical services, Dr Enda Dooley, so as to retain him after consultants working in the health service had received significant increases.
Mr Black, then on secondment to the Department of Justice from the Health Service Executive, applied for the job based on his management experience and was successful. Though a medically qualified executive clinical lead was appointed a decade later, in 2018, and took over responsibility for all clinical decisions, neither his terms nor, he said, his own responsibilities were diminished.
