A paralympic athlete has won €7,000 in compensation for the “humiliation” she suffered in a confrontation with a security guard who tried to tell her that her guide dog was not allowed in a Dealz shop.

Nadine Lattimore, who represented Ireland in track and field at the London Paralympic Games in 2012, secured the award on foot of a complaint under the Equal Status Act 2000 against Dealz Limited after the incident at a store in the Ilac Centre, Dublin 1, on 23 August last year.
