A spokesperson for Mulligans insisted the pub welcomed people of all backgrounds, was proud of its own Irish heritage and was ‘reviewing the matter internally’.
They added: “Mulligans is aware of a video circulating on social media and the planned protest this weekend, and takes the concerns raised very seriously.
“We want to be absolutely clear: Mulligans welcomes customers of all backgrounds. As a pub proud of its own Irish heritage, the suggestion that we would discriminate against any community is something we take particularly seriously.
“We have many valued customers from the Traveller community, and there is no blanket policy to refuse entry on the basis of ethnicity or background.
“We operate a very strict door policy because we want Mulligans to be a safe and welcoming environment for every customer. Like all licensed venues, we do refuse entry where specific individuals have previously caused issues on the premises – this policy applies equally to everyone, regardless of background.
“We are reviewing the matter internally and have already been in direct contact with members of the community and are committed to continuing that conversation.”
