An Indian man in Dublin spoke of his frustration after he was refused housing "because he ate meat".
Simran Singh Bakshi and his girlfriend were in the midst of house hunting when they came across an advert for a double room. Simran told Dublin Live: "They were an Indian couple. We agreed on everything and at the very last moment, they asked me for my passport details.
"They saw I was Sikh because of my name and the woman said, ‘You can’t live here because you eat non-veg’." An angry Simran added: "I asked her if she wanted more money for the rent or if me eating non-veg was an issue. She said we strictly want vegetarian people.
