Vintners meet to discuss all-out campaign

JUNIOR Justice Minister Willie O’Dea has called on vintners to call off their pub bans against Travellers until talks aimed at resolving the dispute get underway.

The minister’s appeal comes as the Vintners’ Federation of Ireland prepare to meet tonight when an all-out ban on serving drink to Travellers will be discussed.

“I’m asking them to hold off any protests until we sit around a table next week, like any reasonable people,” Mr O’Dea said.
