Transgender Equality Network Ireland (TENI) welcomes the Equality Tribunal's decision in the Louise Hannon case to extend protections to transgender people.
http://www.tgeu.org/node/194TENI Chairperson, Martine Cuypers said: "This is a significant step for transgender equality in Ireland. An important precedent has been set in recognising the inclusion of transgender people under the gender ground of equality legislation.
"We also congratulate Louise Hannon on winning this landmark case following her four-year legal battle. Ms. Hannon's case highlights that transgender people regularly experience discrimination in the workplace as well as challenges in accessing and retaining employment.
