The Supreme Court has confirmed that employers have a duty to provide ‘reasonable accommodation’ for employees with a disability.

Fórsa has welcomed a Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) adjudication, which found that rental adverts on the property website daft.ie were discriminatory. The WRC said the ads discriminated on the grounds of housing status, age and family status.
