Complaint details
Dear Mr. McWeeney
I refer to my letter to you dated 19th July, 2012 and your response received in writing on 24th July, 2012. The Swimming Pool Management have considered your written response. You have requested that you be given details of what exactly you are supposed to have done. You then proceed in your letter to describe the incidents as trivial incidents and abrasively criticise me for raising these issues with you.
In accordance with your request I now set out the history of the case as reported yo myself and I request that you consider same and let me have your response in due course:-
Early 2012
You were involved in an incident in the Pool with another member. You were swimming in the lane and you tried to cut off a female swimmer by overtaking her and then cutting in front of her obstructing her swim. You then stated that you were swimming in the middle of the lane. The lady's husband was present and saw this incident. There was a verbal argument between you and him. The lady alleged that you were bullying her in the lane and verbally threatened her as well. The lifeguard on deck Sharon Treacy brought this incident to the attention of David Sheridan. She had seen the arguement but not the bullying incident.

Mr. Atkins was very upset that Mel McWeeney had threatened his wife and was bullying that it is a public facility and that people might bump into each other by accident. I encouraged them not to be agressive reminding both that they are of good character and they shook hands and apologised to each other "

Florrie Geelan gives a hand-written complaint to the Swimming pool stating that " I was swimming in the mall Swimming Pool in Longford. I got kicked twice by a man with no manners. When I left the pool I went into the Steam Room. The same man came in and tried to bully me so I left. I only came in for a swim which I always enjoy but today this man made it impossible. Thank you. "
David states " This lady gave me this letter by hand. Her name is Florrie Geelan from Newtownforbes. On this very same day, I met Mel McWeeney in the swimming pool and I invited him into the office with another member of staff, Mr. Barry Hall, Duty Manager. I told him that I had received a written complaint about him. I told him that this was the second written complaint that I had received in the past few months and that I was going to look into the matter. He left suggesting that Florrie Geelan was a very rude woman and he felt that he was the victim. I told him I would have to look into the matter. Later Mel approached the lady and tried to apologise but she declined to shake his hand "
