Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community

Human Rights and International Standards for Traveller and Roma Communities: Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission

2:00 am

Mr. Liam Herrick:

What the legislation provided for is uniquely with regard to licensed premises. If equal status cases and employment equality cases involve any other area of goods, services, shops, businesses and so on they are dealt with by the Workplace Relations Commission, which is the specialist body that deals with this area. Uniquely, licensed premises revert back to the District Court.
