一名Carlow县议会消防员Jimmy Murphy 被工作场所关系委员会授予15 000欧元,因为该委员会裁定他因年龄而受到歧视。 A Carlow County Council firefighter, Jimmy Murphy, was awarded €15,000 by the Workplace Relations Commission after it ruled that the council discriminated against him based on age. 理事会拒绝将Murphy的合同延长到60岁以上,理由是消防员需要保持体力和智能。 The council refused to extend Murphy's contract beyond age 60, citing the need for firefighters to maintain physical and mental abilities. 然而,妇女资源中心发现,该委员会没有为退休年龄提出充分的理由。 However, the WRC found that the council did not adequately justify the retirement age.
