"I would like to clarify that The Igoe Inn was paid in full for the round of drinks that Eric & Don bought for our customers. We appreciate their business."
The owner added: "We Do Not appreciate being misquoted."

"We'll get the money later we were told there'd be no fear of it," bar owner Caroline Kennedy told The Irish Mirror. "I don't think we've to worry about getting paid for that. I don't think they carry cash. We were told it'd be all sorted later so there's no problem."
Newsweek reports that the tab was forwarded to the Trump golf resort, which paid it in full.
