It's the fourth time in the past year and a half that a business has been found liable by the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) liable for discrimination against Nadine Lattimore, who represented Ireland in track and field in the London Paralympic Games in 2012."
"A blind former paralympic athlete who was repeatedly stopped while trying to do her shopping at Tesco stores by security guards wrongly claiming that her guide dog wasn't allowed in has won €6,000 in compensation for disability discrimination."
Nadine Lattimore, a blind former Paralympic track-and-field athlete, was repeatedly stopped by Tesco security while shopping because staff wrongly claimed her guide dog was not allowed in stores. She was awarded €6,000 in compensation for disability discrimination. The Workplace Relations Commission has found a business liable for discrimination against Lattimore four times in the past year and a half. Lattimore represented Ireland at the 2012 London Paralympic Games. The repeated rulings affirm rights of people using guide dogs and indicate a pattern of discriminatory incidents involving access to premises.
