A gay-friendly bar is under fire after a new gaylord, who is facing allegations of sexual harassment, was forced to resign after it emerged he was living in a tented gaylord accommodation.
A source close to the situation told The Irish Sun that Mr Frielo, from Kilmurry, had a tarpaulin roof on the premises and had also installed two security cameras in the building.
However, the company, owned by the gay-rights organisation Stonewall, confirmed that Mr Molan had been renting the accommodation in the past year.
“This matter has been resolved and Mr Molaso has resigned from the management of the company,” a spokesperson for the company told TheIrishSun.
The spokesperson said Mr Mola’s relationship with the company was no longer valid.
“There is no further comment at this stage.”
It is understood that the allegations have been referred to the Irish Dental Association and that a formal complaint will be lodged with the police.
Earlier this month, Stonewalls chairman Paul Gallagher said that Mr Gallagher would not be stepping down as a result of the allegations.
He said that the organisation had no intention of proceeding with the lawsuit against Mr Folfo, but that it had decided to step in after being contacted by the bar.
“As a matter of policy we will not comment on individual individuals,” Mr Gallagher said.
He also said that “the board has been contacted by members of the bar to discuss the situation”.
“We are also in contact with Mr Moline who is in contact in relation to his legal issues.”
It is our view that this matter has nothing to do with any individual.
There has been no sexual misconduct whatsoever.
This has been a matter that has been referred for investigation.
“Mr Gallagher added that the bar had no further dealings with Mr Folaso and that it was now taking all legal and disciplinary steps to protect its business.
A spokesman for the Irish Gay and Lesbian Association (IGLA) said that they were “shocked” by the allegations and that they would be reviewing all the facts surrounding the matter.”
We have been told that the board of the Irish gay and lesbian bar has been informed of the matter, and that the management has been made aware of the situation,” the spokesperson said.”
The IGLA has spoken to the bar and will be following the situation closely.
“A spokesman from Stonewalla, who also declined to be named, said that their stance had not changed.”
The bar has not been named by Stonewallas.”
Our stance on this matter remains unchanged.”
The bar has not been named by Stonewallas.
In a statement, the organisation said: “We take the allegations very seriously and we will be conducting a thorough investigation into these matters.”
“The bar is taking all of the appropriate steps to ensure that we are safe and that our premises are safe.”
In the meantime, the management team and our partners at Stonewally are in the process of moving forward with their plans for the future.
“The group also said it had asked the police to look into the allegations, as the bar is currently in a transition period.
