IrelandAn adjudicator with Ireland's Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), Seamus Clinton, claimed he faced discrimination during a promotion process where only one man out of five male applicants was shortlisted for a senior role, while all three female candidates were selected. His legal team cited internal WRC data showing his mediation success rate (59%) was lower than some of his female colleagues, which he argued indicated unfair treatment. The WRC head of mediation expressed concerns about a potential data breach, stating that success rates were not a standard metric they track. The WRC revoked Clinton's access to the mediation database after his legal team used the data in their case. Clinton also alleged retaliation for filing an equality claim, including being removed from mediation duties.
