A LECTURER WHO was passed over for promotion by NUI Galway has welcomed a ruling by the Equality Tribunal ordering the college to pay her €70,000 in damages and immediately promote her.
Dr Micheline Sheehy-Skeffington, who lectures in botany, went forward for a senior post in 2009, but failed to get the job.
The Equality Tribunal found the college’s hiring process was flawed, and that the lecturer was discriminated against on grounds of gender.
In a statement today, NUIG said it accepted the decision ”unreservedly” and would take “immediate steps to implement the Tribunal’s findings”.
The University initiated “a major review of Senior Lecturer promotion procedures in 2012/13,” the statement said.
“Following the review, the University introduced a new promotion scheme in 2014 which resulted in 28 promotions, one third of which were promotions of female staff members.”
It concluded:
The University very much regrets the distress caused to Dr Sheehy-Skeffington in this matter, thanks her for her contribution over many years and wishes her well in the future.
Speaking to RTÉ, Sheehy-Skeffington said the finding was a “landmark” decision.

It’s my body. It’s my choice.
Only if you are over the age of 18.
They want to regulate absolutely everything in this country.
Please leave people alone to make their own choices.
Health services should be regulated.
Yeah, everyone should be allowed to do anything they want and employ anyone who calls themselves a doctor to perform any procedures. You only have to do a bit of research on the internet.
Yeah, and nobody should have to pay for anything.
We already have laws to protect consumers. We already have taxes. We already have regulations.
People are just constantly demanding ever more regulations on everything. It feels like some people just want you to lock yourself away in your house and never to leave to do anything. Regulations are suffocating businesses.
If I trust my dentist enough to inject Botox into my face, I should be allowed to ask him.
A tattoo artist is allowed to inject ink into people’s faces but can’t inject Botox.
The state often have to foot the bill for fixing botched cosmetic surgical procedures. They have every right to try and reign it it
That’s because ink isn’t botulism
Incredible situation when a surgeon can operate and then leave the country . Introduce mandatory residency & registration , otherwise there will be no accountability . Remember ;” it s not the procedure but how one copes with the complications that define you .”
Hello Everyone,
At every point in your life, you’ll need money for one thing or the other: starting or expanding your business, paying bills, settling debts, fixing your damaged vehicle, paying your rent, and so on. Unless you’re a multi-millionaire, you’ll always have one or more expenses waiting to consume every penny you earn.
The reality is that there are times when you just won’t have the money when you need it so badly. In such instances, you have a number of options: ask your friends and family for assistance, sell some of your assets at giveaway prices, or take a loan. If you’re like most people, you would definitely prefer taking a loan.
