    suprised this story hasnt made the weddings board yet...

    Sunday times reporting Royston Brady was fired from Roganstown house as General Manager after threatening to report the owners for charging wedding guests for late bar licenses but failing to apply for them.

    if i remember correctly they only applied & paid for 2 late licenses this year yet hosted 40 weddings

    the flip side of the story was the owners claim to have fired him as he was spending more time planning his campaign to run for Dublin's Lord Mayor

    I read this yesterday. Yet he was apparently fired the day he threatened to tell couples about the issue.

    Hard one to call, according to the one of the owners ian mcguiness he doesn't see why he should have to give the money back. Tbh, I don't either it's a legal matter at this stage.

    I havent read the story but given both the posts here I assume there are calls to refund the money to the couples who paid. I think that is quite absurd, now that they have been caught out surely they should hand the money over to whoever it is that permits the license.

    Agreed. If this is actually true the couples got what they paid for, albeit illegally, but that's not their issue. The local superintendent won't be coming after them, but the manager of the hotel will have some explaining to do there I'd imagine.

    thats the point, royston brady was the general manager and he said in the story that the owners organised the extensions through their solicitor. when he found out they hadnt been doing this and just posketing the cash he approached the owner and said he was going to tell the couples about this. (who exactly he was going to tell isnt clear, couples who had their wedding already or couples who were going to have their wedding there?) anyway, the owner (mcguiness) had him removed from the premises immediately. that was according to the article.

    the couples got their extension that they paid for, so thats it as far as theyre concerned, would be up to the licencing authority to pursue the hotel for anything after that. Be no different then the hotel withholding vat from the revenue.
