An English pipe fitter has been awarded 20,000 euro (£15,630) in compensation after being racially abused in his Irish workplace.
The man, who was based in Dublin, complained that colleagues had taunted him because of where he came from.
They would say "send the Brit in" to clear the way if they had to enter potentially dangerous spaces at work.
Negative reports about England's performance in the 2006 World Cup were also read aloud in his presence.
He said some colleagues never spoke to him and others deliberately sang Irish songs of a political nature in his presence.
The equality tribunal found the man was racially harassed and said some of the acts complained about were of a blatant and intimidatory nature.
