Inquest hears how nightclub doors were sealed due to suspicions around people being let in for less than full price
On Friday, the last day of evidence before the court rose for a six-week break, Mr Doyle asked to read over statements of another witness, Patrick Kavanagh – now dead – who was the father of another doorman, Michael Kavanagh.
In a statement to the Garda in 1981, Mr Doyle said head doorman Tom Keenan had told him at 1.30am that the exits were unlocked. However, Mr Doyle told the inquest that it was his recollection that Mr Kavanagh had said at about 9.50pm that he had unlocked the doors. Having read over Patrick Kavanagh’s statements, Mr Doyle returned to the box shortly after noon on Friday and said: “I would like to apologise to you all, gentlemen and coroner. Can I say I think I made a right boo-boo. And I maybe believe now, the doors were locked. They must have been…”“Locked,” said Mr Doyle.
