To all members and visitors using the Tavern Trail please observe that Finnegans Restaurant and Pub on The Tavern Trail page 22 under Limerick, will not make you welcome, we inadvertently published the recommendation by a member and as we have had a communication from the Managing Director Mr David Smiddy General manager /Director that you are not welcome to overnight at this pub, please observe this lest you cause offence.
This was the email we got this afternoon unedited.

"I  am writing regarding a reference to our premises in your publication.
we provide parking facilities to all customers whilst dining in our premises but we do not offer over night accommodation or camping facilities on site, contrary to the extract relaing to our establishment in your publication.
regards
David Smiddy
General Manager/Director"

As you can see ,it did not give the name of the place so I requested where it was and sent the response set out below, we must respect the mans wishes and I hope all readers will give the place a wide berth, the Ball Ally Pub ,The Dunkerrin Arms and the Rackett Hall are only a short distance away and they welcome your custom,

Thank you for your prompt reply, you must be the only pub in Ireland that does not appreciate business from people who drive, because they are tourists and have motorcaravans, can drink in a bar all evening without fear of section 50 of the road traffic act.
lest it cause you any further concern In compliance with your wishes we have now deleted the offending text from the Tavern Trail and destroyed those already printed, We assure you that all members will be circulated, We will put this on the news room of our web site as of this evening and in its place recommend that the members give Finnegans a wide berth in future, sorry if the Motorcaravan Club of Ireland have caused you any problems and that you don't need the members business.
Best regards
Bill Lupton
President
