The Workplace Relations Commission was told the hotel manager objected to the guide dog on the grounds that his own dogs would be"barking all night" if it was there.
He said he tried to resolve the matter by phoning ahead and then by calling to the hotel, and eventually spoke to the manager by phone. "The room on offer was not a specifically designated room which could accommodate animals, nor was such a room requested in circumstances where the person making the booking surely was aware that they required a specific type of room," she said.The tribunal was told in January that the hotel manager, Edward Dore, was too ill to attend the hearing and give evidence.
I
The ignorance of them, Should have got more money out of them to really teach them a lesson.
Disgraceful, glad he was fined. I don’t normally approve of a lot of compensation claims/people suing, well not the obvious ones that are basically scams, but in this case it was definitely justified.
I'm delighted shame on killkennyhotel
Good news......bad hotel
There’s a huge selection of pet friendly hotels in Ireland but sad to see that this happens in this day !!
That's disgrace. Parents with kids are worse in fairness.
cant be having dogs running about
definitely a hotel to be avoided.
Scandalous they should be ashamed.
Good exactly what I thought
Didn't see that coming...
I'm not even surprised. The owner shouldn't be working in hospitality at all. He gives the whole sector a really bad name.
Good!!👏👏
Shameful hotel.
