Discrimination | Employee mocked over accent and labelled 'the protestant' by colleagues

An employee at a refugee centre in Ireland has won over £3000 in compensation after being mocked over having an English accent.

Chris Murray started working at Coolebridge, a company that controls direct provision centres and emergency accommodation facilities in Dublin, in July 2022 when he started to experience belittling and disparaging comments from other workers, the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) heard.
