MANAGEMENT at a Donegal Nightclub have done a u-turn after a controversial promotion caused uproar with parents.
The ‘Shag A Ginger’ night planned for tonight at Pulse Nightclub in Letterkenny hit the headlines because of objections from local parents.
Even local priest, Fr Lorcan O Searcaigh labelled the event as a “disgrace”.
The nightclub claimed That the event was only a bit of fun.
They had planned to give out condoms and to even have a hairdresser at the club to help people dye their hair.
However, the club has now rowed back on their ambitious plans and apologised for any offence caused.
Pulse management have now confirmed the original event has been changed to ‘Kiss Me, I’m Ginger’.
In a statement they said: “Given recent controversy surrounding a promotional poster advertising the event, the management have removed it and wish to make it clear it was not their intention to cause insult or offence to anyone.
“The promotion of such events on student nights are commonplace throughout the county and have occurred in the past without knowingly causing offence.”
The local Student Union at Letterkenny Institute say the event has nothing to do with them.
