should my friend do anything about this?

last wednsday we had our class party in crawdaddys on harcourt street.An easy enough place to get into.A group of my friends were going in and got the usual i.d treatment which is all fair and grand.One of my friends(a girl)whose from fermanagh and who has a strong northern irish accent shows her i.d.The bouncer waves everyone in but keeps her back.He puts on this fake northern accent asking her where in Fermanagh is she from...she tells him where she is.He see's that it has united kingdom on her id(she's catholic)and says to her"sorry love were full tonight"...even tho it was early and crawdaddys doesnt get full to very late!thats a bad explanation of the story i think im missing other bits but it was definitelty a case of sectarianism.im not political at all about the north i think thats awful treatment.has this happened to anyone else??:)

If she really believes that she should or you think then i would consult a lawyer and sue the place. It sounds like that bouncer was a almighty power trip, a story to tell his mates id say how he refused a girl from fermanagh.

Don't sue, rather contact the owners. They probably don't know that the bouncer is getting out of line.

OP, have you tried a Gypsie curse at all? Perfect revenge. FACT!

Knowing those Northerners (not that I do) she'll probably firebomb the place or kneecap the bouncer on her own accord.

I don't like the direction this is going.
