Pub: No more ‘CIT Christmas Day’ events

THE owner of the main bar at the centre of the so-called ‘CIT Christmas Day’ declared yesterday that his premises would no longer have anything to do with the event.

Publican Kieran Horgan of The Bishopstown Bar gave the undertaking at Cork District Court, at which point gardaí and the Bishopstown Community Association withdrew their objections to the renewal of the pub’s licence.

Mr Horgan read from a written undertaking: “I Kieran Horgan do hereby undertake that no students will be facilitated at Bishopstown Bar on the day known as CIT Christmas Day. I undertake that no advertising will be issued on behalf of Bishopstown Bar to CIT by way of flyers to those attending CIT or put on any advertisements on social websites Bebo or Facebook.
