Peter Casey: Travelling community 'poorly represented' by Pavee Point

A spokesperson for Peter Casey said he will not be making a statement after he was criticised for making controversial comments about the travelling community.

Presidential candidate Peter Casey has said that the travelling community has been "poorly represented by Pavee Point".

Speaking on the RTÉ Six One news, Mr Casey said his earlier comments were made because the travelling community "refused to take possession" of six houses that had been built at a cost of €1.7m.
