Man was ‘devastated’ at losing job running Irvine’s bar

SACKED pub manager John Foley was “devastated” after losing his job running ex-F1 racer Eddie Irvine’s trendy Cocoon bar.

“Immediately afterwards I was devastated, I was just distraught, but I gathered myself together,” he told an Employment Appeals Tribunal (EAT) hearing.

At the end of a 13-day hearing, Mr Foley’s lawyer Frank Callanan, SC, said his client’s preferred outcome was to get his old job back.
