Traveller Woman Brought to Tears On Air: "Discrimination Has Ruined My Life"
Season 6
Episode 1231
Published 4 months ago
Description
A group of five Travellers say they were turned away from a Howth restaurant after booking a table – told their reservation was cancelled and “you’re not getting in tonight”. It raises a massive question: do pubs, bars and restaurants have the right to refuse anyone, anytime… or is that just discrimination dressed up as “management reserves the right”?
We spoke to Kathleen, a Traveller in her 50s who says she’s been refused her whole life. Others in hospitality argue venues are wary because of past trouble.
