Martin Gordon said he was humiliated in front of his daughter by ‘house policy’
Mr Gordon says his treatment is a breach of the Equal Status Act and he wants to highlight it to ensure that others do not get treated in a similar fashion..
He lost his sight overnight at the age of 17 due to a retina-detachment condition. Despite this, he has pursued a successful career as a barrister. He got into cycling through the Malin to Mizen charity cycle to raise funds for guide dogs. Mr Gordon said he had eaten at the restaurant during the summer and the food was good, which is why he wanted to returning.
“It doesn’t happen all the time, but it does happen. Enough is enough and it happens to other guide dog users too. Life with disabilities is hard enough without this humiliation. People can’t be allowed to get away with doing this to people with disabilities. Discrimination is wrong at any level.
