Julie Brudell, a former P3 teacher at Ballykelly Primary School was awarded £8,250 by the Fair Employment Tribunal after they found she had been discriminated against in a redundancy selection process. Mrs Brudell, a Protestant teacher with over 25 years experience, took up the case following her selection for redundancy in 2009. Mrs Brudell had been teaching at Ballykelly Primary School for 15 years when she received formal notification of redundancy in March 2009. In August 2009 the primary school teacher left her post and at the time was offered a one day teaching post in the schools nursery unit, but following a successful appeal of her redundancy, she was redeployed when a permanent post became available in the nursery unit. On June 30 of this year the Tribunal made a declaration that Ms Brudell "suffered an act of discrimination on the ground of religious belief" and that she lost "her P3 teaching post which she clearly enjoyed."
