Gaelscoil Pheig Sayers WTF?

My old man was brought home from work about 30 years ago and when my man saw him get out of the work van she was stunned. He was dazed and staggering all over the place. He’d been off the drink years at that stage.

Vertigo is an awful thing. To this day he won’t sit opposite the direction of travel on a train.
 
A fella that I used to work with years ago, back when I was a young fella starting out, arrived into the workshop in a taxi one Monday morning - about 25 minutes gone clock-in time.

The smell of drink off him was something else, slurring his words and generally looking like death. He was still half-cut from the night before.

"There was no way I could have driven my own car in this morning" he said to me as he made a cup of tea "Scapa Flow were in The Manhattan last night and the pints... well... they were flowing too."

Tea finished, he grabbed the keys to one of our SEAT work vans and said "Right, I better start working on paying for those pints."

Still STEAMING. He took a ferocious speed-wobble going for the driver side door. One of the boys pointed out that he'd gotten a cab in.

"Yeah, and I said I couldn't have driven my own car. I don't mind dinging the van."

I fucking loved that job.
 
This fella is surely in line for some form of compensation.

At the very least apologies from those parents.

The vertigo story seems totally legit, yet this fella has been accused of being pissed in work and dragged through the media
I met 3 friends last night that all have kids going to that school and know the guy fairly well and say he’s a good fella and this was blown totally out of proportion by a few Karen’s on a parents WhatsApp group that are forever causing problems.

The WA group has gone very quiet now.

I believe the school’s board of management have been fairly adamant in backing the principal from the beginning.

Good.

Accusing him of being SoundMan is just not on.

Couple of things to consider.
It wasn’t a parent that reported him stumbling.
If I forgot my vertigo medication knowing exactly what it would cause I would go home to get it

There is a lot more to come out about this teacher yet.
Forgetting his vertigo medication is the least of his problems
