Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 February 2023
182. Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications the number of discrimination cases taken and won against his Department over the past ten years, under each of the grounds applicable, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8891/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am taking the Deputy's question to be in relation to cases taken under the Employment Equality Acts 1998 to 2011, which prohibits discrimination in employment in relation to 9 grounds, i.e. disability, gender, civil status, family status, sexual orientation, religious belief, age, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins, or membership of the travelling community.
My Department is committed to providing an inclusive work environment for all colleagues. Our Statement of Strategy, Le Chéile 23, is underpinned by the values set out in the Civil Service Renewal Plan and is committed to human rights, equality and anti-discrimination.
Since 2013, there has been one unsuccessful case and no successful cases against the Department under this legislation.
