Virgin Media Ireland wins appeal, overturning €30,000 discrimination award to former employee.

Virgin Media Ireland has overturned a €30,000 discrimination award given to Sian Shepherd, a former schedule planner who alleged discrimination after taking maternity leave. The Workplace Relations Commission initially sided with Shepherd, but the Labour Court ruled that she failed to prove discriminatory treatment, noting that other candidates with young children were also considered for the position. Virgin Media maintained that their recruitment process was fair.
