Irish Rail to seek judicial review of record €189,000 award to woman
Sunday December 20 2009
IRISH Rail is expected to seek leave in the High Court tomorrow for a judicial review of an Equality Tribunal ruling that awarded a female employee a record €189,000 for victimisation and discrimination.

The semi-state giant is also expected to appeal the ruling to the Labour Court. The employee's solicitor, John Kealy, said he found it "extraordinary that Iarnrod Eireann will go to such lengths to fight gender equality".

End of the day in the unlikely event of a successful appeal the legal costs will be such that it cost more than the payout
