Traveller family seeks to overturn discrimination appeal by Charleville Park Hotel

The appeal comes down to the requirement to have a credit card when booking a room at the hotel

The hotel denied that it had discriminated against the family. It claimed that the family had not complied with its credit card policy, which it says is required to secure a booking at the hotel. File picture

A Traveller family is seeking to bring four legal challenges in the High Court in a bid to overturn a court decision which saw the owners of a Cork hotel succeed in their appeal against a €22,000 award to the family who claimed a failure to allow them check in was discrimination.

Last October, the owners of the Charleville Park Hotel were successful in their appeal against a €22,000 award to the Traveller family who claimed that their failure to be offered emergency accommodation at the premises represented discrimination.
