Lesbian teacher wins £15000 in discrimination case
A special needs teacher in Ireland who claimed she was discriminated against for being a lesbian was given a £15,000 payout, reports The Belfast Telegraph.
Jill Young, 37, began working at the Dundonald school in September 2003. She blamed the principal for bullying and harassment and accused him of suggesting she should leave. She left after three years.
The South Eastern Education and Library Board agreed to pay the money without admitting liability.
