Revealed: Irish traveler family uses six bars in the same town…before prosecuting thousands

A group of Irish travelers participated in a crawl of another type of bar – heading to six different bars in the same area of ​​London’s suburbs, each quarreling with bar staff and then suing them all for thousands of pounds as victims of racism.

The incident is by far the most cynical incident, the scandal to “create” legal case bias, which has been described as “the biggest threat to the hospitality industry since COVID.”

A recent wave of legal requirements has been raised by the Daily Mail survey, which claimed they were rejected by bars, bars or restaurants by reasons for racism.

Now, at least 200 bars have been sued by a small number of traveler families, one of which is Mongolian, 122 times.

We reveal that its most prolific claimant, Brian Mongan, lags behind 44 claims, while members of the McDonagh family have 25 times.

Indeed, it was the members of both families who participated in the Extraordinary Bar Crawl, which took place on Monday afternoon in October 2023.

Two groups of brothers, Paddy McDonagh, Tom McDonagh, Brian Mongan and Peter Mongan, among the entire brothers in Croydon, ask them if they serve Irish travelers throughout the bar in Croydon.

First, they visited the joyful farmers in a lively bar in southern Croydon, where four young men were denied service.

At least 200 bars are now sued by a small number of traveler families

Next, they went to Puli’s weapon and didn’t drink.

In the next few hours, the four young men entered up to twenty licensed venues, including Surrey cricketers, the royal family and the Scepter and the Bulls, and were not served.

A month later, McDonaghs also returned to Croydon, then jumped into the backstreet wandering arm and asked again if the bar was serving Irish travelers.

The conversation between Irish travelers and bar staff and the refusal to serve them were recorded secretly on mobile phones and formed the basis of legal letters to the landlords and owners of Croydon Bar in a few months.

As the cases are now considered in the High Court, six public officials told MailOnline that they believed they were intentional and cynical as the target of “compensating cows.”

Being harmed is the common law right of landlords to deny service on one hand, while the Equality Act of 2010 (Equality Act of 2010) discriminates on two of nine protected characteristics, including race.

But for the bar landlord involved, this is not more serious.

Just like the licence of the Surrey cricketer on West Street, Croydon by Trevor Weller; “If I lose this situation, I know it will end. Just as simple as that.

The cases are linked to the October 2023 bar crawling, where two brothers switch from one Croydon to another, asking if they serve Irish travelers

John McFarlane, 62 years old, bullhead. The letter sent by law firm Howe and Co claims that clients, as Irish travelers and recognized ethnic members, have been victims of “direct racial discrimination”

“I’ve sunk everything about this bar and even if I win the court case, we’ll still bear thousands of pounds in debt to pay our attorneys’ fees.

“I have owned this bar for 18 years. I used to be a heating engineer and a regular at the bar. When it was for sale, we bought it and put our name on the door.

“This is all part of being a community.

“When someone comes in, they greet ten people before they arrive at the bar. That’s all the local bars are.

His wife Lynn added: “We are here to help people celebrate their victory, and we weep in moments of despair. My miserable aunt.

Bull Head’s rough diamond landlord John McFarlane is less than five minutes’ walk and is not that dramatic.

“If I lose, I will sell it and the bar will become an apartment.

Half of the bars in Croydon have been closed after smoking, Cooper and the cost of living crisis.

Many bars and bars have decided to pay off the traveler is the best choice

Trevor Weller, 63. Surrey cricketer. For landlords Weller, John McFarlane, Gary Sidwell, Oliver O’Flaherty and Manish Patel, surrender is not an option

The fate of dozens of other public officials, bar and restaurant owners – will be ruled in central London court

‘This may be the last straw.

“Low, there will be nowhere to stay on the way home, nowhere to watch the game on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, nowhere to have a quiet drink with friends.

“We make hot meals on Thursday nights and Sunday lunch hours, so I know my regulars have at least two good meals a week. ”

Backstreet owner Oliver O’Flaherty, is more rebellious to the owner of dog-friendly Wandle Arms.

“If I lose, I won’t pay.”

“I made little money after paying for heating and electric to the bar staff. I won’t give it to them.

Gary Sidwell, Puli Weapon’s landlord, also rebelled.

The 63-year-old explained: “We have a family of three generations with our regulars. We are part of the community.

“There is a clear sign at the back of the bar saying that we reserve the right to deny service, and that’s what we are going to do.

“But they didn’t even ask for a drink.

“The cases against me are all about money.

“They want £3,000 per block to compensate for the hurt feelings. There were four of them so I got a £12,000 fee from my bar, which would bring the total cost to close to £20,000 in addition to the legal fee.

‘That’s just a bar. They called twelve bars on the same day.

Manish Patel, owner of Happy Farmers Bar, added: “I wasn’t there that day, but my colleague, a 60-year-old woman, was on duty. She was scared.

Happy Farmers is a community bar. There is a sign on the door that says we reserve the right to reserve the service without explanation.

Sahin, who has already spent £4,000 in legal fees, will also fight this principle in principle

John Reilly (pictured) has named about 55 different institutions in his sight in recent months, mainly in and around London where he lives, asserting “discrimination”

“To me, it looks like a money-making business.”

The cases are linked to a Monday afternoon bar crawl in October 2023, with two brothers, Paddy McDonagh, Tom McDonagh, Brian Mongan and Peter Mongan, throughout Croydon, all from one bar to another, asking if they serve Irish travelers.

The letter from law firm Howe and Co claims that as Irish travelers and members of recognized ethnic groups, clients are victims of “direct racial discrimination, indirect racial discrimination and/or harassment.”

Many bars and bars decide to pay off the traveler is the best choice.

As the landlord of the royal family and scepter, he requested not to be named. “We paid them off, and that’s the end.”

But for landlords Trevor Weller, John McFarlane, Gary Sidwell, Oliver O’Flaherty and Manish Patel, surrendering is not feasible.

Therefore, their fate, along with dozens of other public personnel, bar and restaurateurs, will rule in the central London court that Magistrate Patrick Le Bas will rule on the merits of their racial discrimination claims.

As Gary Sidwell, 63, South London landlord insists: “Our bar is at the heart of the community. If we succumb now, what is to stop them from coming back in six months and trying again.

“We cannot continue to pay. That would be the end of local alcohol. No one wants that.

Charlie Rose of the law firm Howe and Co, represented Paddy McDonagh, Tom McDonagh, Brian Mongan and Peter Mongan, and did not respond to a request for comment.
