Race discrimination in the workplace is illegal under Irish law, and individuals who have experienced such discrimination may be entitled to certain remedies.
Here are some of the remedies for race discrimination in the workplace in Ireland:
Complaint: The first step for an individual who has experienced age discrimination in the workplace is to make a complaint to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC). The WRC is responsible for enforcing employment equality legislation and can investigate complaints of discrimination.
Compensation: If the WRC or Labour Court finds racial discrimination has occurred in your company, the individual may be entitled to compensation. The compensation awarded will depend on the circumstances of the case, including the severity of the discrimination and the financial losses suffered by the individual.
Reinstatement or Re-engagement: In some cases, the individual may be entitled to reinstatement or re-engagement in their former or similar roles in the company. This remedy is typically awarded when the discrimination has resulted in the individual losing their job.
Order for Equal Treatment: The WRC or Labour Court may order the employer to cease the discriminatory practice and ensure equal treatment for all employees going forward. They may need to start implementing training for managers and staff on the prohibition of racial discrimination in the workplace.
Non-Financial Remedies: In addition to financial remedies, the WRC or Labour Court may also award non-financial remedies such as a formal apology or a reference for future employment.
Punitive Damages: In some cases, the individual may be entitled to punitive damages designed to punish the employer for their discriminatory conduct. Punitive damages are only awarded in exceptional circumstances and are typically reserved for cases where the discrimination was severe or intentional.

Racial discrimination in the workplace occurs when an employee is treated differently than others because of their race, colour, national or ethnic origin, or immigrant status. This discrimination can take many forms.
In Ireland, the Employment Equality Acts of 1998-2015 protect individuals from workplace discrimination based on race, colour, national or ethnic origin, and immigrant status.
If you believe you have been the victim of racial discrimination in the workplace, you should resolve the issue directly with your employer. This is only sometimes possible. If it isn’t, or if the discrimination continues, you can file a complaint with the Workplace Relations Commission or the Equality Tribunal. These organisations are responsible for investigating and addressing discrimination claims in the workplace.
If an employer or employee is found to have engaged in racial discrimination, they may be required to pay damages to the individual who was discriminated against. In addition, the employer may face other consequences.
No, it is illegal for an employer to fire an individual for making a complaint about racial discrimination in the workplace. If you are fired or otherwise punished for making such a complaint. In that case, you may have grounds to file a retaliation claim with the Workplace Relations Commission or the Equality Tribunal.
We start by establishing whether or not you have a claim.
Then, if you do and you want to pursue it, we’ll help guide you through the complex process of making that claim.
That said, you only have a limited time to lodge your complaint to the WRC or Labour Court, so act fast.
