DEC-E2002-035

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF EQUALITY INVESTIGATIONS

EMPLOYMENT EQUALITY ACT, 1977

EQUALITY OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION NO DEC-E2002-035

PARTIES

Lynskey
(Represented by the Equality Authority)

AND

The Board of Management of Coolmine Community School
(Represented by IBEC)

File reference: EE/33/99
Date of issue: 8 August 2002

This dispute concerns a claim by Mr Eamonn Lynskey that he was discriminated against by the Board of Management of Coolmine Community School on the ground of gender - contrary to the provisions of section 3 of the Employment Equality Act, 1977, in terms of section 2 of that Act - when he was denied promotion to the position of Special Deputy Principal (Academic). The claimant alleged that his qualifications, experience and service rendered him a more suitable candidate than the female appointee, but that there was a climate of opinion in the school favouring a female candidate for the position.
