Dublin barman kindly uses parasol to shield wheelchair-bound local from rain while escorting him home

A DUBLIN-BASED barman has been lavished with praise after footage of his lovely gesture went viral on Sunday.

Over the weekend, Ireland was drenched in a bout of torrential rain, though it didn't stop people booking tables at the pub!

One such gentleman - who was in a wheelchair - was faced with quite an unappealing journey home, but a quick-thinking member of staff came up with an ingenious, though somewhat arduous, solution.

The Pines on Whitehall Road posted a sweet video to their Facebook page showing barman Frankie holding a massive parasol over the customer to protect him from the rain.

Here's hoping he only lives a few doors down, for Frankie's sake!

Check out the original video, here.
