Nightclub discriminates wheelchair user

[dob]

That's disgusting! This is 2013 ffs!

I was refused in a nightclub in Belfast because of my religion.
Full story - mates and I got out of ****** taxi in West Belfast to centre of town. Arrived at front of the nightclub and we're halfway out of the taxi and the Bouncer said "Not tonight lads" I paid the driver and bouncer repeated it again. I asked why we're not allow in tonight? He said we're Cathoic. We were stunned when he said that. I laughed at him and said
1- this nightclub is owned by catholic family.
2- my mate's parent own it so I rang him while I was standing in front of the bouncer. 2 minute later. Manager come out of nowhere and said "You're sacked" to the bouncer who refused us in because of our religion.
After that happen the manager said sorry and got us into nightclub with free entry and 2 round of drinks for free.

People will never move on. I just don't get it.

and he could tell you were catholic just by looking at you?

Taxi sign on the car. It's a well known taxi company in West..

To be fair it is not the policy of the nightclub. They had an Agency bloke in (bloom'in agencies!!!!) and he decided upon himself that he wasn't going to let him in. He consequently got dismissed and an apology was given from the nightclub.

Give some people a tiny bit of power and watch while it goes to their heads.

He didn't react much but reacted big time after being told that he's sacked in front of everyone.

From what I can make out from facebook, the nightclub has steep narrow stairs to get down into the place. The guy wanted to be carried down by his mates. This was close to midnight, going to a club so assume the mates had a few beers on them. The bouncer refused because they could drop him.
Seems fair enough, some buildings can't be made wheelchair accessible

The entrance to the club is down 30 steep steps, there is no wheelchair access, yes in this day and age there should be wheelchair access but how would you propose to climb down 30 steep steps? Would two people have to lift you off the wheelchair and carry you down? Would the guys have to be trained to carry you and what about the health and safety implications of doing this? What if you got your mates to do it, do you think there is even a greater health and safety risk there? It wasn't discrimination.
