A female architect at a Government housing agency has been awarded €5,000 in a discrimination claim where she complained of a ‘toxic’ male culture in the workplace.
At the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), Adjudicator Michael McEntee has ordered The Housing Agency to pay Auveen Coombes-Lynch €5,000 arising from her successful gender discrimination claim under the Employment Equality Act.
In his findings, Mr McEntee found that his conclusion in relation to Ms Coombes Lynch’s successful discrimination claim concerning the ‘Male Culture’ in the workplace was largely derived from good oral evidence at hearing from Ms Coombes Lynch.
