The stag party were also described as “truly repulsive” and “a disgrace to themselves and their families”.
A stag party comprising of approximately 30 males from Cork have come in for severe criticism following their behaviour while visiting Prague last weekend.
According to the Irish Examiner, the stag party in question were guilty of sexual harrassment of female staff in an Irish bar in the city, of loud and boorish behaviour and of wearing Hitler masks and Nazi paraphenalia while drinking only a short distance away from the city’s Jewish quarter.
Frank Haughton, who owns two Irish bars in the city, told the Examiner that the stag party visited Caffrey’s on Prague’s Old Town Square last Friday, April 24, and described their behaviour while there as “truly repulsive”.
“We get quiet ones, good ones, bad ones but rarely truly repulsive ones,” Haughton said.
“There are two in the ‘truly repulsive’ category that really stand out and it is with sadness and shame that I must state that both came from Ireland.”
“The group of about 25 or 30 guys from Cork who were here last weekend should be absolutely ashamed of their behaviour,” Haughton added.
“They were a disgrace to themselves, their families, and a huge embarrassment to Ireland.
“The sad part is that these guys were of mixed ages, some of whom should have known better. But their language, their inability to have any respect for anything, was repulsive. These guys just didn’t give a damn.”
Haughton said that the men attending the stag party aged in range from their 20s to their 50s and that the trouble kicked off when they donned Nazi paraphenalia, including Hitler masks, while drinking in the pub’s outdoor seating area.

Haughton also said that members of the stag party slapped the buttocks of female members of the staff, that they abused elderly customers and were heard shouting a series of sexually offensive comments.
“This (the wearing of Nazi paraphenalia) was not just insensitive but their abuse of quiet elderly customers who pointed this out was shameful and their vulgar treatment of waitresses as sex objects — words cannot describe,” Mr Haughton said.
“Their excuse was ‘we can do what we want’.”
“99% of these stag parties cause no problem at all. 99% of the time, they work with us,” he added.
“Most of the stag parties are OK, a little disruptive at times, a small percentage are noisy, some are too loud. But we were close to calling the police the weekend before last.”
