A popular bar in Buncrana, The Drift Inn, has announced that it will no longer allow bus tours to stop at the premises.

The decision was posted on the pub’s social media pages this afternoon and the management said it was not taken lightly. Recent incidents have included broken toilets, fire alarms being set off and staff being subjected to verbal abuse.

A spokesperson for the establishment said, “After careful consideration and listening to the views of the staff and management we ask that bus tours no longer stop at The Drift Inn. This isn’t a decision we take lightly but due to recent incidents including but not limited to toilets being broken, fire alarms being set off and staff receiving unnecessary abuse we have taken this decision.”

The statement added that any buses that attempt to stop will be asked to move on and passengers will not be admitted.

The move follows complaints from local residents and staff who said the behaviour of some tour groups had become unsavoury.
