Hi guys,
The wife heard that it was mentioned, or more so spoken about on Today FM this morning. Did anybody hear it? It was on the Ray Darcy show.
Also it's apparently in one of the national newspapers today!!
Not good!!!! |

This is ireland, in the words of father ted, down with that sort of thing, peter stringfellow opened a club in dublin years ago, a guy with clubs all over europe, his dublin club lasted 6mths.. I do hope Ikandi has not dug a grave for itself and beware your usual sunday rag mag doesnt take an interest too. Just saying catholic ireland and in the words of hozier and take me to the church, thats a fine looking high horse. |

I believe we all value discretion in our swing lives as we all have lives outside of here but for someone to be publishing this on radio and paper certainly makes me fear in many ways for the discretion which we all desire. Granted this country is backword on this regard but a little bit of common sense would prevail that this isn't what a club of this sort should be advertising in such a fashion.
Then some would say bad publicity is good publicity but its not publicity i'm after |

We both value discretion due to our jobs and family.
Unfortunately in this case, it seems that discretion was forgotten about by ikandy for the sake of publicity.
It won't take long for that Sunday rag to sniff the trail.
I can safely say that we won't be to the club for a while until the dust settles.
And while I agree with what was said above, I don't want family and friends knowing our business.
It's a lifestyle choice in a country living in the dark ages. |

While I applaud the "fuck the begrudgers" attitude the managers of i-kandi have, I said when they started posting here that they were going about promoting their club the wrong way.
Fair play, but bad move. |

Just got a PM from i-kandi. It seems the leak of this info to the press was not of their doing.
Not my place to go into detail but I think we can call off the witch hunt for now. |

I have to disagree
I honestly don't see what everyone is getting so worked up about
Do you really think the Sunday World or any other Rag will get enough information to write a story about this
As for being worried that some journalist will publish a photo of you - bollox

Have to disagree, they will post your picture full face regardless, then you have to go sue them and have your picture posted all over again and you might not even win your case, so now your bankrupt with legal fees... |

There's no such thing as bad publicity so they say.
Just waiting on the influx of excitable newbies to join Fab asking can I come to the next orgy you're going to or can I set up a 3some for them tonight. |

no but the car parks are and the door to the club is
however it is a legit business and the party for tomorrow night is still going ahead as the previous two years (i think the club is open)party's have . Lets not forget the papers have full knowledge of this club and others along with meet and greets as backward as wwe may think the country is its not the front page news anymore as it was in the eighty's and nineties. With the evolution of the internet and the demise of church rule ( not saying it still doesn't have an influence)people are less concerned with others people choices however u still and always will have nosey fookers that have nothing better to do than spread gossip which is what we are all afraid of

True, but by your own admission
'if you are in a public place & so is the photographer' only then is it legal.
But I'm standing on private property |

I posted on a thread here a 4or5 months back were someone was advertising a party at this venue. All I said that the usual protocol was not to name the venue in public but to vet the potential guests and only give the venue details at the very last moment. But I was verbally set upon as a scare monger for saying the press would make it their business to ruin the place.... |

guys journalists just print stories and take pics of whatever they want now...and worry about consequences later ..9 times out of 10 people cant afford to sue or dont want the publicity...papers usually get away with an apology on page 19 lol...privacy is a thing of the past.. And regarding the advertisement obviously the proprietor placed the ad...who else would!!! |

they can show ur pic if they put a line across ur eyes so not showing ur full face but anybody reading the paper would def know the person in the pic if they know them. i for 1 wouldnt risk it its ok for guys to say fuck it its only a pic but cpls and fems would be the 1s that would suffer as u know what society is like |

Pics with eyes blanked out are useless. It's so clear who the person is.
I'll be surprised if the rag doesn't run a story this week.
I posted this as a fabs member with concern for all of us. The fact that the job was advertised very publicly alarms me for all the obvious reasons. Reasons which have already been mentioned.
Maybe iKandy might say why they put the integrity of the users into a potential bit of a problem.
I enjoy the club. I'd hate to be worried about snaps and stories reaching the tabloids......just because we are professionals and lead a "sordid, depraved" lifestyle outside of the office as they'd like to put it ?????????????? |

My profile on two other (s4i and fet) sites were used as examples on an expose done by tv3 yrs ago.. They didn't give a flying fu*k if they were invading my privacy or not. So don't be fooled they've done it before and they'll do it again. |

Tbh we wouldn't get freaked out, the club is advertising openly including its address, if any media was interested in an expose they could do it anytime they want , the club has been mentioned in the papers before, just the usual tut tut piece, if it did appear it would likely be the same wouldn't worry about pics tbh. |

I got to say any publicity is good,even bad has its place,it's about time we crawled from the dark ages. We are a generation of talkers,armchair this or that. Never went to this club,but we both admire the attitude and stance this guy has brought to this "sex" club. A dance club,is where ya go to dance,a sex club...I hope the next generation of Irish people will look back and revere such clubs and say that was the end of the oppressed Ireland we all know. E&M xxx |

The club/owner is a pr nightmare and to be in the line if business he us makes it a disaster waiting to happen. I'm sure those who go have had many a great night, but I wouldn't trust this guy's motives. |

Lads the owner has every right to advertise a job going no matter its a swing club. Its a genuine job and while working there is no playing allowed. You be there to work and work only. As for the papers they have nothing better to do but to complain this place has been open for 5years allready and has been talked about in newspapers. Its nothing new to eamon or in Ireland. If your not comfortable going tonight dont go. Its that simple I still going to support eamon by going to club even if newspapers are out side the door I just have to remember to cover my tattoos |

I suppose to each their own. I myself wouldn't really go just cos not my thing. I however do know people that do and enjoy. I have noticed looking at threads there seems to be its my ball scenario to the management of it all but maybe justified too considering the nature of it. Someone once described it to me as the Fawlty Towers of swinging. |

Ginger is correct. We attended an event a few months back and the following Sunday there was a 2 page spread about the night in the Sunday World. There was 2 journalists there with cameras and no one saw them..! Faces in the pics were blurred out tho but to be honest, the media don't care once it's sleazy and fills space in the paper.
Did it stop us from going again? Hell no..!!! |

1)Human rights law, only applies to Government bodies and Citizens, so forget any of that crap, it doesn't apply.
2)Public place, is any place that the public have right of access to freely, or by charge. There are strict rules regarding 'Private' member's Clubs.....so if it's a straight admission charge....it's a public place.
3)After some of the vile, discriminatory and disgusting posts by the proprietor's, in their various guise's, if you're the type of person that would still attend....hell slap it up you, you went with your eyes wide open!
That is all....... |

Re my comments below, I been contacted by those mentioned and they have put their side to the story and given it some context. As such, I have no reservation in withdrawing my comments publicly. I have been impressed that they took the trouble to contact me and were open in their explanation towards me......and before the synics jump to conclusions, I was not asked to do so, nor did I state my intention to do so.
I felt morall, it was the right thing to do
