Now here's the difference between this and all the others that go on day
after day. Unionism was caught.

A Catholic doctor who missed out on a consultant physician's post at the
Ulster Hospital has been awarded £20,000.
He lodged a case with the Fair Employment Tribunal alleging unlawful
religious and political discrimination.
It acknowledged and apologised for the injury to feelings, hurt and
distress caused to Dr Colm McGurk.
The trust did not admit liability, but said there were deficiencies in
its procedures.
The Ulster Hospital is in Dundonald, a predominantly Protestant area on
the outskirts of east Belfast.
The case was assisted by the Equality Commission which said the trust
had also re-affirmed its commitment to the principle of equality of
opportunity in employment.
It had also undertaken to meet the commission to review its policies,
practices and procedures with regard to the appointment of consultants,
it said.
The commission's Geraldine Scullion said the settlement provided an
important reminder that any deficiencies in recruitment procedures could
cause distress to applicants.
"The trust has committed to liaise with the commission and to implement
reasonable recommendations," she said.
"By bringing this case, Dr McGurk has contributed to a process which
will be to the benefit of future applicants and indeed to the trust
itself."
