Taxi drivers boycott Travellers

TAXI drivers in Waterford are refusing to bring Travellers to their halting sites following a series of assaults.

While no blanket boycott has been imposed, drivers are refusing to drive Travellers to certain parts of the county following three serious attacks in recent weeks.

The most recent attack involved a knife. Now drivers say they fear for their safety and are not bringing fares into or out of Kilbarry and Bilberry.
