Answer
My Department has responsibility for legislation on gender discrimination and sexual harassment in the workplace, but these provisions are not specific to the hospitality sector and compliance with the legislation is a matter for individual organisations.
Investigations of sexual harassment complaints in the workplace fall to industrial tribunals or the Equality Commission.
