Lidl has been ordered to pay former Paralympic athlete Nadine Lattimore €2,000 for disability discrimination after a worker told her to move her guide dog away from a bakery shelf.

Ms Lattimore told the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) that when she explained that she was blind and needed her guide dog, the worker told her she was “concerned about the dog interfering with or licking the food”.
