Retail chain Iceland has been ordered to pay a total of €12,000 to four Travellers, including two children, after they were discriminated against when asked to leave a store.
At the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) Adjudicator, Brian Dalton ordered Iceland Stores Ireland Limited to pay each of the four €3,000 taking into account “the emotional upset and public embarrassment experienced”.
In his findings, Mr Dalton said that Laura McDonnell, 18, Megan McDonnell, 21, and two minors provided credible evidence that they could be identified as being members of the Traveller community and also that difference in treatment occurred on November 20 2020.
