An Indian nurse at Beaumont Hospital who alleged racial discrimination after being passed over for promotion eleven times has brought a legal challenge over the dismissal of her complaint.

The High Court judicial review proceedings by Somy Thomas, of Artane, Dublin, arise from a determination of the Workplace Relations Commission rejecting a complaint brought on her behalf by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) in late 2016.
