Schools and hospitals owned by religious bodies can fire or refuse to hire people if they believe they do not coincide with their ethos, the European Commission has confirmed.
The commission has accepted that it could be necessary to insist that a teacher or hospital professional should not undermine the religious ethos of the school or hospital or other institution employing them.
However neither the commission nor the Government has define what 'ethos' means legally or what amounts to 'undermining'.
The commission has yet to decide whether Ireland's discrimination/employment legislation is in line with what they agreed to implement at EU level on a number of areas.
