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. 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.
