Extra gardaí in town for Traveller wedding

EXTRA gardaí will be drafted into a Co Cork town today in case trouble flares at a double Traveller wedding reception, which will be held in a local hotel.

A large number of the 20 plus licensed premises in Youghal closed to strangers last night. Regulars who knocked on the front door were quickly ushered in and the door promptly closed behind them.

A spokesman for the Traveller movement has strongly decried the publicans’ decision which they say is blatantly discriminatory against Travellers.
