Equality Tribunal

The Employment Equality Act 1998, which established the Equality Tribunal, provides a statutory framework whereby we mediate and/or investigate claims of unlawful discrimination in accordance with the provisions of the Act. Various legislative changes have occurred since our establishment and we now have a unique responsibility for mediating and investigating complaints of unlawful discrimination under the following legislation: Employment Equality Acts 1998 - 2008 Equal Status Acts 2000 -2008 Pensions Acts 1990-2008.
