Desmond Murphy took WRC claim, alleging discrimination on grounds of disability

Desmond Murphy told the Workplace Relations Commission that the MMA training programme ultimately 'saved his life'. Photograph: Nicholas Yeo/AFP via Getty Images)A speed camera van operator who said his mental health was affected by obesity has lost a discrimination claim over being refused changes to his roster to allow him take up MMA training.

The “Winter Warriors” course was described to the company by Mr Murphy as “a white-collar MMA mixed martial arts charity event” which would run for 20 weeks, an adjudication hearing in February was told. Mr Murphy said a letter describing his behaviour as “misconduct” came as a surprise to him and he criticised the approach of the HR manager. He told Go Safe he would not return to work and received notice pay, he said.

The firm’s management wrote back three days later on January 31st, 2020 saying the company was “unable to commit to [the] requested changes over a long period”, she said. Mr Murphy did not attend the morning shift the next day and told the company he had gone to the course, she said, adding that a period of illness followed.

The Leaving Cert is over. What happens to your exam script now?Most students’ exam papers are being marked online in a system which authorities say reduces errors and speeds up turnaround times Extraordinary to think that they scan the torturously handwritten LeavingCert2022 scripts and project work for the purposes of correcting.
