Diner had alleged environment at restaurant on George’s Street in Dublin 2 was loud ‘to the extent that the glass was shaking in the window’In a complaint under the Equal Status Act 2000, Ms Brady said that when she asked for the music to be turned down, the manager of 777 “said no and walked away.
“It was a humiliating and upsetting experience ... They didn’t care that I existed. People with disabilities, or marginalised communities, don’t fit their vibe and aren’t welcome,” the complainant said.“I was not able to converse with my friends – any ordering, I wasn’t able to do, I had to hand over to my friends,” Ms Brady said.
The manager, Pepé Rodriguez, and a waitress, Christine Noguera, both denied to the tribunal last December that Ms Brady had informed them of her disability, contradicting what Ms Brady and one of her fellow diners, Pat McCarthy, had stated in their evidence the first day the case was heard. “No, you asked if it could be less louder and then I want to talk with the manager, nothing else,” Ms Noguera said.
“However, there is no excuse for Mr Rodriguez denying that I disclosed my disability. This is backed up by my witness and witness statements and yet everyone involved from the 777 side is saying that I did not. She said the fact Ms Brady’s party stayed for a full two-hour sitting was “indicative of how she was treated”.
