Video appears mock travelling community

A garda has been suspended in relation to a video appearing to mock travelling community.

In the clip, a man wearing a garda vest and holding a can of cider is 'calling out' a member of the fire brigade for a fight.

He says "bate the wife, great stuff" and also says he will "dance on the grave" of his opponent.

Pavee Point has released a statement saying, this undermines its work trying to develop relations between the Traveller community and the gardaí.

While gardaí say a member has been suspended pending an ongoing internal disciplinary investigation.

"A member of An Garda Síochána has been suspended in relation to this matter, pending an ongoing internal disciplinary investigation."

Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has also visited the traveller organisation to apologise over it.
