Galway Bay fm newsroom - A case against NUI Galway over claims of gender discrimination has been adjourned as university officials and the four female lecturers concerned have agreed to enter a mediation process.
A large demonstration in support of the women had been scheduled to take place tomorrow as the pre-trial hearing was due to be heard in the High Court in Dublin.
This has now been cancelled as the women enter into the negotiation process.
A case by a fifth woman is currently going through the Labour Court.

Dr. Micheline Sheehy-Skeffington won a landmark Equality Tribunal case in 2014 after she claimed NUIG discriminated against her for being a woman and therefore did not promote her.
