    Anger over pub’s false toilet for disabled people
    By Michael Brennan
    DISABLED campaigners hit out at a Dublin pub last night over a bogus disabled toilet which has deceived wheelchair users.

    The Mezz bar in Temple Bar features a red door with a gold wheelchair sign, indicating disabled facilities.

    But the locked door is simply built into the wall and there is no toilet behind it.

    Peter Wickham, the manager of the Mezz bar, said he was not aware of the bogus toilet’s existence.

    “It’s been a year and a half since I worked here - I’m just back since Monday. Whatever structural changes have been made, I’m not aware of them,” he said.
    :rolleyes: "I'm the manager, but I don't know whats going on in my own pub in spite of being here a year and a half now... Wait a sec... I don't work *here*, do I!?!"

    Bunch of tits they're lucky a case wasn't brought against them if a situation arose whereby a disabled customer couldn't use the toilet.

    I know it's an absolute disgrace but...

    it's bloody funny all the same. Only in Ireland, as a previous poster said... I expect this to be making international 'crazy news' headlines soon-ish...
