Tithe Tábhairne agus Idirdhealú ar bhonn Aoise
Tarlaíonn idirdhealú ar an bhforas aoise nuair a dhéileáiltear le duine le níos lú fabhair ná mar a dhéileáiltear le duine eile, mar nach ionann aois dóibh.
‘Tá ‘aois’ i bhfeidhm ar dhaoine os cionn 18 mbliana d’aois, seachas i soláthar árachais cairr do thiománaithe ceadúnaithe faoi bhun 18 mbliana d’aois.
Pubs, as licenced premises selling alcohol, cannot discriminate on any of the nine specified grounds (Age, Civil Status, Disability, Family Status, Gender, Membership of the Traveller Community, Race, Religion, Sexual Orientation) with respect to entry or service provision under the Equal Status Acts.
Ní féidir le teach tábhairne diúltú duit teacht isteach mar gur ball thú de ghrúpa áirithe a chlúdaítear sa dlí, nó mar go bhfuil tú i gcomhluadar duine dá leithéid, nó mar go gceapann an fhoireann gur duine dá leithéid thú.
Tá dhá bhealach le gearán a dhéanamh faoi idirdhealú tithe tábhairne.
Áiteanna a dhíolann alcól – idirdhealú a tharlaíonn ag pointe iontrála
Claims of discrimination that occur “on or, at the point of entry” to a licensed premises (for example, a pub, or restaurant; or any place that holds a license to sell alcohol) are dealt with in the District Court.
You can access the relevant court forms from the Courts Service. Tá na príomhfhorálacha ábhartha san Acht Deochanna Meisciúla, 2003, arna leasú.
Áiteanna a dhíolann alcól – idirdhealú nach dtarlaíonn ag pointe iontrála
If the claim of discrimination against a licensed premises occurs via telephone or by email (in other words if the claimed discrimination does not occur “on or, at the point of entry” to that premises) then any such claim should be directed to the Workplace Relations Commission.
