Didn't get a response to my email. Hopefully because they're snowed under with them, but I'm sceptical.

helenpeatfield.bsky.social•3 days ago

I got a reply from their FB Messenger today

anaemicroyalty.bsky.social•3 days ago

Generic?

helenpeatfield.bsky.social•3 days ago

No, quite sincere. But let’s see if the higher-ups will comment. Need a journalist!

anaemicroyalty.bsky.social•3 days ago

Okay, interesting!

helenpeatfield.bsky.social•3 days ago

Gotta keep in mind that a person handling a social media account could be anyone. Sooooo… yeah, let’s keep pushing for comment from the hotel manager, or the CEO, or the family that owns the chain.

anaemicroyalty.bsky.social•4 days ago

I doubt they'll see it before the morning, but hopefully they get enough emails to reconsider hosting!

Its understood that the transphobic, hate-filled event "Safeguarding Children's Education", which was cancelled from the The Johnstown Estate on April 5th is now set to take place today at The Talbot Hotel, Stillorgan. It targets trans rights under the false guise of “safeguarding.”

keith1275.bsky.social•3 days ago

As the event appears to have been booked under a different identity to the organiser, we believe the Talbot Hotel administration has been duped and are unaware of the true nature of the event and would not wish to be associated with it if the full truth were known.

keith1275.bsky.social•3 days ago

We are also advised that the Gardai have been informed of the event and are likely to be on duty at the hotel.

It is unknown if the Pettit family, owners of the Talbot Hotel Group, are aware of the event.

keith1275.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hotel completely hood winked.. They didn't do due diligence to veryfy that they are hosting some truly nasty people.

miriamboosh.bsky.social•3 days ago

But as of last night they had been warned and still went ahead

keith1275.bsky.social•4 days ago

its booked under a fakey name of "Claremont College" and they have booked the large "The Shelbourne Suite" - mail Conference & Events manager at [email protected]

keith1275.bsky.social•4 days ago

phone them now...

keith1275.bsky.social•4 days ago

If you dont get response with the staff at Talbot in Stillorgan, remeber that The Talbot Hotel Group is owned by the Pettit Family in Wexford, Desmond Pettit being the principal. Reach them at 053 912 2566 & share your concern over this event.

keith1275.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can confirm anti trans fest is setting up in Talbot Hotel Stillington right now.

keith1275.bsky.social•3 days ago

* Talbot Hotel Stillorgan

helenpeatfield.bsky.social•3 days ago

Their proud little photo. About 50 or 60 attendees?

Perhaps the venue change made the numbers small.

It’s still too many people though.

anaemicroyalty.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nah that's about in line with their usual booked numbers for these things lol.

helenpeatfield.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can I DM you? Or you me?

helenpeatfield.bsky.social•3 days ago

*Stillorgan (just to make sure any media attention is in the right place)

helenpeatfield.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can anyone get a snap of the anti-environmental materials? This is important because TicketTailor is a B Corp.

They were notified on Monday by ME. I have a paper trail.

keith1275.bsky.social•3 days ago

The place is wide open, I just wandered in, mooched around, the event is also tagged as Mt. Anville Class Reunion... 🤣

helenpeatfield.bsky.social•3 days ago

I’m trying to reach ANY news outlet or journalist but getting no replies yet.

I live abroad so calling isn’t easy.

helenpeatfield.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you for the update and proof!

flah12.bsky.social•4 days ago

They’ve a track record of holding events for questionable groups unfortunately (including several for the Russian embassy)

mjfgates.bsky.social•4 days ago

There *is* a Claremont College. It's in California. Probably there's too much distance and not enough time to activate their lawyers, which is a shame.

keith1275.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hmm... i think its closer to home than that.... ;

@news.rte.ie

… anyone willing to investigate this?

rollingsolidarity.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Clairmont College is a far-right institution in California, which has openly welcomed & hosted neo-nazi groups. I know the idea of "California Nazis" may sound surprising to some folks. But it is what it is.

miriamboosh.bsky.social•4 days ago

Please whether your Irish or not help us. We need to get this even cancelled. The event is being run by the “natural women’s council” and is called “safeguarding children’s education”. They push dangerous legislation and rhetoric against trans people. They are tied with the extremist far right here

shazbear.bsky.social•3 days ago

I left a post on their facebook

miriamboosh.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is AMAZING good on you

mjfgates.bsky.social•3 days ago

Everybody wants to go to the Talbot Hotel, "Home of the Terfs."

What? Not quite everybody? Ooh.

angelfrmcanada.bsky.social•3 days ago

I left a reply to your post. I'll be following up with an email.

I sent an email and cc’d their marketing@, hr@ and info@ emails.

The Talbot is part of a larger chain I believe, one that’s owned by the Petitt family firm.

Do we have any #journalists among us who can call up Cormac Petitt for comment?

michealwalsh.bsky.social•4 days ago
