Gary O’Sullivan had complained under the Unfair Dismissals Act against brothers Colman and Michael Ryan, along with their mother Margaret Ryan, trading in partnership as Frankfield House in Douglas, Co CorkA Cork golf course has been ordered to pay a greenkeeper €4,000 in compensation for unfairly dismissing him following a heated argument with one of its owners over Covid-19 safety.
He said golf clubs had become more technologically advanced since he started coaching – and the players physically stronger.But even though players had the power to drive a ball 350 yards – rather than the 260 to 270 yards once typical for a “gentleman golfer” – their skill had not improved down the years, and the issue of stray balls was worse.
“There was a thunderstorm all of a sudden that afternoon and there was a big stampede of golfers wanting to go from the outdoor range to the indoor range,” Mr Ryan said. He said he was “in fear” of catching the Covid-19 virus and passing it on to a vulnerable relative and that he told Colman Ryan that the barman who was supposed to be enforcing social distancing was “useless”.“He told me ‘I’m the boss’ and he could speak to me whichever way he wants,” Mr O’Sullivan added.
