Pontins implemented a policy of active discrimination against Irish Traveller community between 2013 and 2018, investigation finds
The British holiday camp chain has published a formal apology to the gypsy and Traveller communities.
The EHRC found that Pontins had built up a list of “undesirables” and a list of suspicious Irish surnames including Cash, Connors, McDonagh, McGinley, McGuinness, McMahon, O’Brien, O’Connell and Stokes. In 2017, an Irish Traveller tried to book a holiday in Pontins. He was told there was no availability, but when a settled friend rang up immediately afterwards, there was availability.In November 2017, an Irish Traveller and his settled partner had their holiday cancelled by Pontins eight days after booking it. No reason for the ban was given.
