• Labour Court dismisses religion discrimination claim in Tipperary Other (employment discrimination · Co. Tipperary

  On May 1, 2015, computer science teacher Fachtna Roe and caretaker Noel Lonergan had a verbal and physical altercation at the Central Technical Institute in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, after Roe attempted to remove a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary that Lonergan had erected as part of a May altar. Lonergan sustained minor injuries to his neck and hand during the tussle, and both men were subject to disciplinary proceedings. Roe, who had previously complained about the altar in 2012, brought a claim to the Labour Court alleging discrimination, harassment and victimisation on grounds of religion. Deputy Labour Court chairman Alan Haugh dismissed the claim after four days of evidence, upholding a 2017 Workplace Relations Commission decision.
