Text
We still await the information from the Equality Commission. It is hoped that that will come in the next week — by the end of this month — and that will have to be assessed against the current legal guidance. Unfortunately, the Commission cannot disclose the advice that it has received. Once that information is received, however, it will be measured against that, and the Commission will make a determination at that stage.
