Barred Travellers bag golf course compo

FIVE Travellers are each to get €1,400 in compensation after being barred from a golf course in the North.

Dungannon Golf Club in Co Tyrone, once the home club of Ryder Cup star Darren Clarke, has also agreed to consider all future applications for membership without discrimination on the grounds of race.

The out-of-court settlement was announced yesterday following a decision to refuse the men permission to play the parkland course in June 2000.
