Related stories Hotel boss resigns after sectarian outburst Ramona Wylie has returned to work at a Co Derry hotel

A businesswoman who launched a foul-mouthed sectarian rant has returned to work at a Co Derry hotel.

Ramona Wylie resigned from the Northern Ireland Hotels Federation earlier this month after she was filmed calling bystanders "Fenian b***ards" during an apparent alcohol fuelled outburst while on a night out in Derry.

At the time the 46-year-old was suspended from her role as financial director at the Best Western Plus White Horse Hotel, which is outside Derry.

Hotel bosses last night confirmed she has since "resumed her duties following internal disciplinary procedures."

They also said they have recently introduced "awareness training for all staff to ensure that they were conscious of their responsibilities in a diverse community such as ours."

"The staff member involved in the original incident has been advised as to her future conduct and has already participated in our awareness training programme," a spokesman said.

"She is deeply embarrassed and has apologised for her behaviour directly - and in person – to those affected.

"We are grateful that her apology has been accepted."

The spokesman said that Ms Wylie "is a valued member of our team and has always made strenuous efforts to ensure that guests and patrons are treated with the utmost courtesy ad respect.

"This has been reflected in the tremendous support we – and she –have received from right across the community since the unfortunate incident occurred."

Ms Wylie was suspended from her job after the video footage was posted on social media.

When asked who she was by the man who filmed the outburst Ms Wylie replied "NITB" - believed to be a reference to the Northern Ireland Tourism Board – which is now called Tourism NI.

"F**k you, because you know what you are, you’re the f**king ... bastards that will destroy this city," she said.

"Derry city destroyed, Derry city destroyed by you."

Seconds later she said: "I am telling you, you are wrong. You know what you are? You know what you are? You’re Fenian bastards."
