From the outset the Commission strongly welcomed this important new provision. We have actively promoted public awareness and understanding of the housing assistance ground, and specifically amongst landlords. We have, in certain instances, provided legal assistance to those who have reported discrimination under this ground and we’ve also challenged discriminatory advertising practices in the private rental sector.enIrish social housing provisionEqual Status Acts 200-2018Case lawWorkplace Relations Commission (WRC)Access to justiceBarriersTechnical Report1642022-06-11https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/
