Bus Éireann has been ordered to pay €4,000 compensation to a visually impaired man who was “publicly humiliated” after being refused to get on a bus in Cork with his guide dog last year.

The Workplace Relations Commission ruled that the bus company had discriminated against Kenneth Walsh on grounds of disability.
