I saw this yesterday and thought that whatever the rights and wrongs of the thing those people that are protesting outside it are gobshites

What do you suggest they do?

[seafoid]

Very poor form on the part of the pub

Agreed.
The colonisers did their job well.

Bit ironic that a person called Finbarr O Shea doesn t want a man speaking a bit of Irish. Unless yer man was acting the bollocks and insulting people as Gaeilge or something.
If he was conversing with others with a smattering of Irish, then this is poor form.

"Mr Ó Bruic said Mr O'Shea stated in his letter that the The Flying Enterprise was "an English-speaking business" and that there had been complaints from customers who felt "uncomfortable" with him (Mr Ó Bruic) speaking Irish. "

No doubt these complaints were in writing and Mr O'Shea will be happy to publish them.

Not sure from the article but was the pub upset that he was conversing with other Irish speakers only or that he was speaking to everyone, tourists included, in Irish?

Mr Nigel Brexit told Mr Ó Bruic to speak fahkin English before headbutting him. He went back to Romford shouting laaga laaga

I'd be careful lads. There's more to this than meets the eye. Bígí curamach lads...Tá níos mó taobh thiar den scéal seo. Just wanna to be bilingual in case any of ye boycott me

Yes, seemingly it wasn't the fact that he was speaking Irish that got Mr O'Shea's goat but the standard of Irish that "thick" Ó Bruic was using. O'Shea was growing increasingly concerned that he hadn't heard the words saghas, lik or d'yknó in any of "thick" Ó Bruic's conversations. Enough was enough when a note found in the bar's comment box read, "His use of the possessive adjective is a total clusterfcuk".

So that's where Hardy went!

As they say there is three sides to a story , your side , their side and the truth.

There's definitely more to this story, I know the o Shea family and worked for over 2 yrs in this bar , why after 8 months of employment was the issue of speaking Irish only brought up ? What was the other internal hr matter? This lad is a chancer and the fact that ppl are standing outside the pub with placards asking ppl to boycott the premises is a disgrace .. A place that employs over 70 ppl , I for one was v grateful to have had that job while at uni and was always accomadated by the o Shea's with regards to my studies. And I often heard Irish being spoke..
