Cork pub 'surprised' after former employee claims he quit after being told not to speak Irish

The management of a Cork pub which allegedly banned a Gaeilgeoir from speaking as gaelige while he worked there has responded to claims he made on RTÉ radio, writes Denise O'Donoghue.

In a statement, the Flying Enterprise said they were "surprised by the comments attributed to our former employee Cormac Ó Bruic" and emphasised that "this matter is certainly not about the Irish language".
