Publicans promise no ban on Travellers

PUBLICANS have promised there will be no nationwide blanket ban on serving Travellers following peace talks aimed at resolving the dispute.

This follows a meeting with Junior Justice Minister Willie O’Dea in which the Vintners’ Federation and Travellers’ groups agreed to tone down the language they were using.

Mr O’Dea said they were building the foundations for a solution to the row which would not be helped by inflammatory language or deliberate law-breaking.
