I've seen that, they'd actually be blocking half the population of Ireland going by the names on that list, not just Travellers. Who even wants to go to that ****hole anyway, not I

I assume you could not go anyway
because of your Great Surname?

[Cherie]

Cash, Connors, Delaney, Doherty, Gallagher, Horan, MacLaughlin, McMahon, Murphy, O’Brien, O’Mahoney, and O’Reilly.

Not Pat Cash and the Gallagher brothers being blacklisted :omgno:

I mean they are some of the most common name in Ireland :laugh:

[arista]

cash, connors, delaney, doherty, gallagher, horan, maclaughlin, mcmahon, murphy, o’brien, o’mahoney, and o’reilly.

Utterly ridiculous

...I have seen something similar before..not exactly the same and not with Pontins...it’s when an Irish person might be trying to book a wedding reception or celebration at a venue...and been refused because they’ve thought to be travellers...

Pontins (Britannia Jinky Jersey Limited) is now
working with the Human Rights Commission
to enhance its staff training & procedures

Utterly ridiculous


They have had Travellers in there
so it has scared other customers.

Good point

Pontins used 'undesirables list' of Irish surnames

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56246848



Pontins used 'undesirable guests' list to discriminate against Gypsies and travellers, EHRC says

[The Equality and Human Rights Commission says Pontins was "directly discriminating on the basis of race".]

To be fair, it says to watch out for those names in case it's bookings from certain people known to them, it doesn't say that everyone with those surnames is banned. It's a note to "flag" any of those bookings for investigation (to check who it is).

It's still profiling and discrimination, of course, but the report is misleading.
