I propose to take Questions Nos. 223 to 225, inclusive, together.

Claims on age, racial or gender discrimination are not made directly to the Employment Appeals Tribunal but can be factors in cases under the Unfair Dismissals Acts, the Redundancy Payment Acts, the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Acts and the Organisation of Working Time Act lodged with the Tribunal. The Tribunal does not, therefore, specifically record data in this regard.

The Deputy may wish to contact the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform with regard to data recorded by the Equality Authority who hear cases under the Employment Equality Acts.
