Background

The respondent did not make a submission to the Equality Tribunal and did not attend the hearing of this case involving two Russian workers. One gave credible evidence that he was dismissed after a tyre burst on his truck and that an Irish worker would not have been dismissed for this. He was awarded €5000 for that and a further €500 for discriminatory treatment in relation to training. His colleague was awarded €500 for discriminatory treatment in relation to training.
