Age discrimination in recruitment – an Irish example – News – agediscrimination.info

Mr Cunningham was asked questions which related to his age at an early stage of the interview process including, on the application form, questions about his living arrangements (’living with parents/renting/mortgaged accommodation’), ‘number of children’, ‘age’ and ‘date of birth’. He provided incorrect information, objecting that the questions were ‘irrelevant and invasive’, and was not given the job despite being suitable for it. The Equality Tribunal upheld his claim and awarded him 5,000 Euro
