Galway Bay fm newsroom - Four female lecturers who claim they were discriminated against by NUI Galway are set to be promoted as part of a legal settlement.
The women took High Court action against the university after they were alleged to have been unfairly passed over for promotion in 2008 and 2009.
The case arose after Dr Sylvie Lannegrand, Dr Rosin Healy, Dr Margaret Hodgins and Dr Adrienne Gorman made unsuccessful applications for promotion to positions of senior lecturer between October 2008 and April 2009.
The four argue they were treated less favourably by NUI Galway on grounds of gender or family status.
Previously, Dr. Micheline Sheehy Skeffington won a landmark gender discrimination case against the university - with an Equality Tribunal ordering in 2014 that she be promoted and receive compensation.
