Travellers force bars to close in Lanzarote
An Irish pub owner in Lanzarote has told Joe Duffy's Liveline show about a rampaging gang of Travellers who forced bars to close after a string of vicious fights on the Canary island.
Brendan Byrne runs Dicey Reilly’s bar in Puerto Del Carmen, Lanzarote.
Speaking to Joe Duffy on Liveline today, he revealed the damage the gang did to his bar.
He said: “They walked into my bar, got up on the music stage, broke music equipment while the musician was playing and the music had to stop and then they started throwing glasses around the place.
“They walked around into another bar, started a row with customers, the bar owner went over to them and they gave the bar owner a couple of boxes.”
They said: “As long as we’re in this bar, we own the bar. We own this island as long as we are on the island. We will do what we like.”
Joe Duffy Seemed most concerned about why people thought they were Travellers.
