I presume the Deputy is referring to the report commissioned by my Department from UCC law department and entitled, Extending the scope of Employment Equality Legislation: Comparative Perspectives on the Prohibited Grounds of Discrimination. This report focused on the various grounds of discrimination used in other jurisdictions, and included the use of trade union membership, socioeconomic status or social origin, political opinion and criminal conviction or ex-prisoner or ex-offender as grounds of discrimination. This report was published on 3 September 2004. It is available from the Government Publications Office and my Department's website: www.justice.ie.
