最高法院驳回了县治安官谢默斯·马伦 (Seamus Mallon) 的上诉，他对要求他 70 岁退休的法律提出质疑。 The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal by County Sheriff Seamus Mallon, who challenged the law requiring him to retire at 70. 马龙于 1987 年上任，他声称强制退休年龄违反了《1998 年就业平等法》的年龄歧视规定，并且与欧盟关于就业平等待遇的指令不相容。 Mallon, appointed in 1987, claimed that the mandatory retirement age infringed age discrimination provisions of the Employment Equality Act 1998 and was incompatible with an EU directive on equal treatment in employment. 法院判决马龙败诉，维持警长的强制退休年龄。 The court ruled against Mallon, upholding the mandatory retirement age for sheriffs.
