The Limerick Leader has a story today about Jerry Flannery's pub being sued by fashionista, Celia Holman Lee.
When Limerick Leader editor, Alan English, tweeted that the action was being taken against a "major Irish rugby star", Flannery disagreed with the wording, saying that the claim was against the pub insurance and 'Flannery Limerick LTD' rather than him personally.
He went on to request that English not turn the Limerick Leader into a tabloid and ask if they would be having Page 3 models next.
@alanenglish9 @onepaulie @limerick_leader Wowwee! This is a real humdinger of a story! And also "Flannerys cat takes shit in back garden!"

@alanenglish9 @limerick_leader Ah Alan, you're better than that! I'm not a major Irish rugby star, I'm retired & I'm just a cool dude now

@alanenglish9And it's nothing to do with me personally. It's a claim against the pub insurance. Don't turn @limerick_leader into a tabloid

@jerryflannery Hi Jerry, it says she's suing the bar, which you're majority owner of. That's news people want to read, a High Court action

@alanenglish9 Riiight, but you tweeted the high court proceedings were against me.They're actually against Flannery limerick ltd.
