Artists’ haunt apologises to culture bosses over ‘lynch mob’ meeting

A Limerick pub synonymous with actors, writers, and musicians has issued a message of apology to City of Culture chairman Pat Cox and former chief executive Patricia Ryan over the way they were treated last Friday night at a noisy public meeting on the running of the initiative.

A message posted on the notice board of the White House bar reads: “We apologise on behalf of all those persons associated with culture and arts development in Limerick city and county for the most outrageous disrespect shown to Patricia Ryan, Pat Cox by mob rule in the Clarion Hotel.”

It is signed by Glenn McLoughlin, manager of the White House.
