'Irish alcoholism nature' reason for job rejection for Irish teacher in South Korea

[muriel_volestrangler]

Katie Mulrennan, from County Kerry, had applied for a teaching job in Seoul.
...
Last week, she received a reply that said: "I am sorry to inform you that my client does not hire Irish people due to the alcoholism nature of your kind".
...
However she has reported the advertisement to Craigslist.
...
The English teacher has since found a job and said that she can laugh about what happened.

Who'd have thought that 'no Irish' would make a return - in Korea of all places?

and ...

I complained and complained loudly and no, it was not that long ago.
