Chef: I was offered €1k to drop case after fall

A Polish chef who worked for leading publican Charlie Chawke claimed that she was offered €1,150 to drop a compensation claim after she slipped when working in Mr Chawke’s old family pub in Adare, a court heard.

The pub, which trades under Mr Chawke’s late father’s name, Bill Chawke’s, is one of a chain owned by Mr Chawke and the premises where he pulled his first pint.

Anna Katarzyna Bialoszewska, 35, a married mother of two, yesterday brought a claim for damages before Limerick Circuit Civil Court.
