'I suggest we start with a nice waltz' - Bar offers dance lessons to Cork farmer arrested after dangerous moves

A Cork bar’s spirit of forgiveness and understanding has seen it reach out to a farmer and his lawyer to offer them both free dance classes at the venue.

The matter made headlines earlier this week as the 55-year-old farmer’s dance moves were identified as the beginning of a chain of events which saw gardaí being called to the Crane Lane.

But a lot has happened in the last few days, first with the plea of guilty from Patrick Ring, followed by the lawyer’s nimble footwork in mitigating the matter at Cork District Court.

Now Crane Lane has stepped in with some admirable moves of its own.

The venue has tweeted: “As a gesture of goodwill for the guilty plea, we at the Crane would like to offer free dance lessons to Mr Ring and his solicitor, Mr Daly.”

At the court case, Mr Daly, explained on behalf of Mr Ring of Peake, Coachford, County Cork: “He is a farmer in West Cork.

"He is 55 and he had too much to drink that night. He was out on the dancefloor of Crane Lane dancing.

The bouncers got upset at his dancing moves or whatever.

Now in explanation of their generous offer of dance classes for the lawyer and the farmer, Crane Lane stated it was doing so “in order to prevent such a travesty of motion occurring again, ‘or whatever’.”

While in tweet-mode, Crane Lane, added warmly: “Thanks once again to our esteemed security colleagues for keeping patrons, including Mr Ring, and staff, safe. There are no bouncers here.

I suggest we start with a nice waltz.

Mr Daly, solicitor, who was highly amused by the prospect of free dance classes for himself and his client, is understood to have the offer under active consideration. Or whatever.
