Four companies [refers to Coalport Building, Realtime Technologies, Securazone Manhour] have been ordered to pay a total of €24,500 to former staff who they discriminated against because they were not Irish nationals…The Equality Tribunal issued four separate rulings…involving three Lithuanians and a Latvian, who were either unfairly dismissed or not paid the same redundancy payments which their Irish colleagues enjoyed...[Realtime Technologies] said it had not paid Irish staff redundancy payment but could not provide evidence of this to the tribunal, which said this was not credible given it appears “that they would have qualified for such payments”.
