I initiated the process of putting down amendments which would protect the gay community and Travellers against discrimination. As somebody with that track record I say that it is time the decent people within the Traveller community spoke to and dealt with some of the worst elements in that community. It is intolerable that the day before yesterday a pub in Mayo, the proprietors of which are an elderly couple, was ransacked because a group of Travellers was refused drink after hours. The landlord and his wife complied with the law and the group trashed the pub. The guards said the situation was horrible because of the large number of people involved. That is not acceptable. The message should go out from those who have traditionally supported Travellers that this kind of behaviour is unacceptable.
