Call to make details of Roma meeting public

A BUSINESSWOMAN who displayed photographs of Roma women in her shop after a spate of shoplifting has called for the details of a meeting with the ethnic group to be made public.

Joan Lucey, who owns Vibes and Scribes in Cork city, said: “People have an expectation that the problem will be tackled now that it has been highlighted.”

She was speaking after a meeting on Monday between key members of the city’s Roma community, a group which works with immigrants, and Gardaí.
