Teacher wins discrimination case after nun asked 'what about the homos?'
A teacher in a Catholic primary school has been awarded €54,000 compensation after a controversial interview for the principal’s job during which a nun asked her “what about the homos?”.
The Equality Tribunal has ruled that the teacher, who was deputy principal in the school at the time, and was passed over for the job by a less experienced colleague, was discriminated against on the grounds of age, religion and sexual orientation.
