Eileen Flynn, an independent senator who is also a member of the Traveller community, has opened up about an incident of alleged discrimination she was faced with, telling the Seanad that Ireland has a "long way to go" in tackling racism.
Flynn, who has served as a Senator since June 2020, explained to the Seanad how a taxi driver refused to take her home to a halting site.
"Last night, I got a taxi home from town and the taxi driver refused to take me into my house in a halting site," Eileen Flynn said in a speech to the Seanad.
