Travellers refused disco entry

LEGAL action is being considered after bouncers blocked 15 young Traveller cousins from attending a teenage Hallowe’en disco in Cork’s City Hall.

The group of 11 girls and four boys from the McCarthy family in Blackpool, ranging in age from 14 to 16, were on an organised family trip to the non-alcohol Cidona Roadshow Disco on Tuesday night.

Una Murray, a coordinator with the Cork Traveller Women’s Network, spent €300 on tickets for the group.
