Dublin Café Sets Tongues Wagging With Post Aimed at Parents of Crying Babies

The owner of a café in Dublin sparked a bit of controversy this week with a Facebook post aimed at the parents of crying babies. Paul Stenson, manager of the White Moose Café which is located in the Charleville Lodge Hotel in Phibsborough, said that he would be happy to provide Valium for the tots if the parents weren’t able to prevent them from making noise. While some called for a boycott of the establishment, most saw humour in the status. One asked “can you not give the valium to us parents?” while another wrote: “Valium? I use whisky myself. If I drink enough of it I can no longer hear my lot.” Stenson has previously rubbed people up the wrong way by giving out about vegans and their “idiosyncratic dietary requirements."
