A HOTEL HAS brought a High Court challenge seeking to overturn a finding by the WRC that it discriminated against a member of the Traveller community and should pay her €15,000 in compensation.
The Bunratty Castle Hotel, which is located close to Shannon Airport in Clare, claims the finding is flawed and should be set aside.
Bunratty Castle Hotel Ltd claims the WRC heard the complaint without the hotel’s representatives being present.
The hotel claims it did not attend as correspondence from the WRC about the hearing of the complaint was sent to the wrong email address.
A fee-paying school, which is at the centre of a High Court case over last year’s Leaving Cert calculated grades, awarded up to three times as many H1s as its pupils usually achieve in the exam.
Mr Justice Charles Meenan said estimated marks provided to students at Belvedere College, Dublin were “well ahead” of what was achieved in the previous three years.
Overestimation by teachers in schools was anticipated “but probably not on this scale”, he said.
Documentation provided to the court gave a number of examples from Belvedere, including Latin, where it awarded 38pc of students a H1, compared with an average 11pc who achieved that between 2017 and ’19. In maths, it awarded 19pc of students a H1 (7pc, 2017-’19) and in Irish, 21pc (9pc, 2017-’19)
The hotel, which is close to Shannon Airport in Co Clare, claims the finding is flawed.
Bunratty Castle Hotel Ltd claims the WRC heard the complaint without the hotel’s representatives being present.
The hotel says it did not attend because correspondence from the WRC about the hearing was sent to the wrong email address.
The complaint to the WRC was made under the Equal Status Act by Nora Ward, who approached the hotel with a view to booking the venue for her wedding.
In its judicial review proceedings against the WRC, and the deciding officer in the case, Ray Flaherty, the hotel wants orders quashing the WRC’s decision and directing the complaint be determined in accordance with law.
