Image: Google Streetview Image: Google Streetview HOMELESS CHARITY FOCUS Ireland has been ordered to pay a 68-year-old mediator €22,000 for unlawfully ‘retiring’ him at the age of 66.
Prior to his Focus Ireland role, McGrath worked for a Government Department and previously in the Defence Forces and is in receipt of a pension earned by his service with the Defence Forces. McGrath and his colleagues on the project worked with 25 families, who were almost all able to stay in the family home.McGrath stated that in February 2018, Focus Ireland emailed all staff to say that the retirement age had been raised to 66 and Mr McGrath received a phone call that day to acknowledge he would turn 66 on 23 April 2018.
McGrath claimed that what had occurred was a flagrant breach of the Employment Equality Act and Focus Ireland had not advanced any objective justification for the ending of his employment. He stated: “I, however, find that the means used to achieve these aims were not appropriate or necessary. It was not necessary to use the blunt indicia of age when fitness could have been readily assessed in other ways.”
Baneham stated that McGrath had successfully rolled out the first two years of the project and that a mix of ages was appropriate in addressing the challenges faced by the project.
