A visually impaired young woman was left horrified and embarrassed last week when two taxi drivers refused to take her guide dog into their cars.

Allie Reilly, 30, was trying to get a lift home with her guide dog Evie when she approached the taxi rank outside the Navan Shopping Centre in Co Meath where the two drivers flatly refused to take her fare because of the specialised trained dog.
