A New York cab driver is spending €700 to fly 3,000 miles to Dublin for two pints of Guinness that he was promised for an unpaid fare.
Fun-loving cabbie John McDonagh happily accepted an IOU in 2013 when Dublin man Shane Gaffney, 32, could not pay up. Shane told Dublin Live: “I was a student, over in America on a J1 visa, working in a golf club in Connecticut and on a night out in New York.
“My credit card didn’t work in the taxi and I had no cash, so I told him that we have a family pub in Dublin and asked if he would take an IOU. I remember writing it and the legend accepted it.
