The daughter of Northern Ireland protestant community leader Ian Paisley has accused him and other members of his political party of sexual discrimination over a failed job application.
Rhonda Paisley says she was not selected for a position within the Democratic Unionist Party’s (DUP) policy unit last year because of her gender, in a claim filed the Industrial Tribunals office in Belfast.
Rhonda Paisley, a former member of Belfast city council, has taken the case against the DUP’s chief executive but also named her father and other senior members of the party, according to reports.
A DUP spokesman said: “These are matters that are now in the hands of our legal team.”
