And now on the Equality Authority!!
Nice one Herr MCDowell and in the same week of Dublin Pride!
Mind you the labour party was pretty good at nominating its stooges to these boards also.
Just what makes someone qualifed for the Equality Tribunal ?? So how can we tell if this guy is not qualified ?
What makes you think you're qualified to question him? You don't even know what he's been appointed to.
It's the board of the Equality Authority, not the "equality tribunal" (there's no such thing, but I assume you mean the Office of the Director of Equality Investigations).
Maybe you should, you know, KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT before posting the first thing that pops into your head on here.
As the author of the statementr let me clarify what i mean by qualifications.
Bob Quinn has demonstrated no experience, interest, commitment or understanding of what is meant by equality or discrimination.
The EA has a mandate to "building a commitment to addressing equlaity issues in practice" (EA Mission Statement).
They define discrimination as "less favourable treatment" and that "A person is said to be discriminated against if she/he is treated less favourably than another".
Now given that the only reason that Bob Quinn got the appointment is that is a member of the Progressive Democrats he has recieved the appointment based on favouritism. Now imagine that equality is the perfect middle ground of which either side is discrimination and the other favouritism.
Discrimination ceases to exist without favouritism. This added to the fact that he has already nailed his colours to the mast in relation to sexual orientation (one of the nine grounds covered in equality legislation that it is illegal to discriminate against people on) and you have an appointment of a person that is unqualified.
The minimum qualities that a person should have to be included on the EA is an open mind and independent, neither of which Bob Quinn has demonstrated.
Therefore his unsuitable and McDowells attempts to emasculate the work of the EA and the tribunal shoudl be resisted.
BTW - In this weeks phoenix it is alleged that the new Chairperson of the EA is a personal friend of Mary Harneys.
