Pub cancels lap dancing session due to furore

A BAR owner who planned to host a lap dancing session tonight has cancelled the event because he said he didn’t realise the controversy it would cause.

Dave McCarthy, who owns Tom’s Tavern Sports Bar in Fermoy, Co Cork, said he wouldn’t attempt to stage such an event again in light of the furore it had caused in the town.

The mayor of Fermoy had criticised it and a member of the public had made an official complaint to gardaí.
