Compo culture

Sceala Clann T.D. Location: Wicklow

€20,000 has been awarded to a English pipe fitter who claimed he was racially harassed and made redundant because he was British.
The Equality Tribunal ...ordered the company to pay the man €20,000 in compensation, but it deemed he was not chosen for redundancy because of his nationality.
So this man has received €20,000 of Irish tax payers money ....because ...at worst ....he was the victim of jokes and slagging ....on a building contract job.
Are not building sites by nature ....places of work where slagging goes on.
Is this another sign of soft touch Ireland .....a land where solicitors are monetarily encouraged .....to .....look for another side to the story ....in their ....alleged quest for justice.
Is it only Ireland that has this compo culture?
We are all well aware that Irish emigrants in the UK ....are often having to put up with a degree of racial abuse. A search on google will clearly show .....Irish emigrants in the UK being the victim of extreme forms of racial intolerance ...including physical attacks ....some indeed sadly ending in the Irish persons death.
Does a contract worker ...any worker for that matter ....deserve a hand out of other workers money ....just because they did not fit in socially ....or possibly ....just because they did not want to fit in.
I believe these tribunals often forget who usually ends up paying for ... these ludicrous compensation hand outs.
