Thank you so much for writing this, Keith. My family came from Ireland to the U.S. near the turn of the 20th century. My grandmother was born in Lisdoonvarna in County Clare. Her family's name was/is Jordan. When I visited years ago, there were many Jordans living there. It is a lovely spa town, known for its Sulphur springs. However, I have never heard how Jordan became an Irish surname. Do you know anything about that?

Is Brenny an Irish surname? It was the surname of my great grandmother who was from Poland. We thought that it had been changed since she came to America. in the early part of the century but my sister found Brenny tombstones in the cemetary in the Silesia area where she was born and lived. This is a most informative and interesting website. My husband has MacDonald and Byrne in his recent ancestry. .

Celtic Traveller

• 694 members

The (brand new) Celtic Travellers DNA project  is primarily for individuals looking for help in identifying the origins of their  own direct paternal or maternal line of descent . 

The project is primarily for the members and descendants of Irish Travellers, Highland Scottish Travellers, Lowland Scottish Travellers, Fairground Travellers and other Non-Romani travelling families. However if you are Roma or mixed Traveller race you are welcome to join.

You may suspect that you have Celtic Traveller ancestry in your family and not yet have a suitable surname project to join due to many reasons which could include distant surname changes , forced adoptions and forced resettlement .

Scottish and Irish nomads (Celtic Travellers) are more commonly and disrespectfully referred to as Tinkers , Pikeys and Gypos . We are probably distantly related the sedentary Celtic folk, but have split from the general population way back in time with our own proud cultures, languages and unique genetic history still waiting to be told.

Delaney is in second place with five mentions; Reilly gets four; Donoghue and Cawley three each, Connors, McInerney and O’Brien two each. The remaining five are one-offs. They include Ó Tuathaigh [Twohey], mentioned exclusively in Nenagh but identified as the biggest family there.

Several entries note that the surname “(Mc)Cart(h)y” is borne by several quite different families, and one says the same for Reilly. The Carthys are linked with both the Donoghues and the Reillys.

While the (Mc)Cart(h)ys are strongly associated with specific places in the county, other families are identified as visitors, including from other counties.

p 383 tells the story of the Murphys: the father was a livestock dealer. Both sons learnt tinsmithing, the three traveled and worked together. Have bought a cottage but not yet moved in. No mention of the mother, wives, or anybody’s age.

p 384 contrasts tinkers who “seldom cause trouble” with “non-tinker tribes” – not named!! – “who are a constant danger to property.”

Meath analysis

Eight surnames, with a ninth, McDonagh, mentioned as occurring in a different county decades earlier (but not, at the time, in Meath). The (O’)Donovans and Joyces are mentioned twice each. The Murray surname, however common in Kells at the time, was very localised, being mentioned in only one other entry (from neighbouring Cavan).

Co.Laois (1 entry, exact location unclear)

O’Reilly Rathangan

McInerney/Kinearney

Hutchinson “specialise in chimney sweeping”

Co.Carlow (1 entry, exact location unclear)

Co.Westmeath (5 entries)

[Location in Westmeath unclear; describes “areas in which these families operate” as “Meath, Westmeath, Offaly, Longford, Cavan and up towards the North” without subdividing]

Keena [sic]*

* another Westmeath entry also lists “Keena”, so this is probably not a misprint for “Keenan”, a surname not mentioned even once in the 1953 data

2. Rathconrath

Nevins Westmeath, Offaly, Roscommon

Joyce Westmeath, Offaly, Roscommon

(“fierce battles” fought between Nevinses and Joyces at Umma 2 years ago)

Ward one of the 3 “best known clans” “West of the Shannon”

Hanafin from Kerry

Power from Waterford. one married a Ward and settled at Strokestown Co. Roscommon; the Powers there descend from him.

O’Leary Limerick chimneysweeps. intermarry with O’Donoghues

O’Donoghue chimneysweeps, intermarry with O’Learys. “about 4 generations back” came from Killoe Co. Longford – evicted. gives details re founding father William.

The following are all local to the Longford-Westmeath-Offaly-Roscommon area, with Ballinasloe their Western limit:

Gavin “sometimes”

Rhatigan “sometimes”

QUOTE: “They are locally called ‘tinkers’. If they have a good number of waggons or caravans, they are ‘gipsies’. Tramps, travellers [sic], beggars always refer to single individuals. We speak of ‘ a beggarman’, ‘beggar-woman’, ‘travelling-man’, ‘tramp-man’, but always ‘the tinkers’.” [In other words, ethnic Travellers are seen as collective, while dropouts are seen as individuals.]

5. Kilbeggan

Rhattigan most common

Westmeath analysis

Only one of the five entries for the County Westmeath confines itself to that county. The remainder treat the midlands as a single region within which named Traveller families (some “from” other areas, e.g. the West) “operate”. Of the 26 surnames noted, Gavin/Gavan is the only one listed in all five entries, with Joyce, Power(s), Rhattigan and Ward each mentioned four times, Nevins three, and a further seven surnames (Keena – and not, nota bene, Keenan – Casey, Donohue, Hanafin, Leary, McDonagh and Stokes) with two mentions each The remaining 13 names, including some unusual ones like King and West, are one-offs .

Co.Longford (2 entries)

1. Ballycloughhan

prevailing names:

Hannaford “a [sic] travelling horse dealer” – an individual, but called a tinker.

Crowley an individual tramp

Brody tells story of local man John Brody who, while stationed elsewhere in Ireland with the Irish army, married a tinker girl. His family disowned him so he moved in with her people and still frequents the area. No indication of his age, how long married, or if they’d any family. This surame does not appear to have become established.

2. [unclear where in Co. Longford]

Hannify [sic] winter in Ballymahon; name twice mentioned, and spelled this way both times.

O’Leary winter in Ballymahon

McDonagh winter in Ballymahon

Joyce winter in [Albtons?] – different place, anyway

Ward travel widely especially to the West. Much rivalry with Nevinses.

Nevins much rivalry with Wards

Longford analysis

Twelve surnames are listed but three of these are attributed to individual non-Traveller men, only one of whom “married in”. Joyce and O’Leary are the only surnames mentioned in both entries. The Wards and Nevinses are associated through mutual rivalry.

Co.Offaly (2 entries, only one of which lists surnames)

1. Coolestown– no names given

2. Clonmacnoise

(This is the sole entry in which the surname ”Green” is listed.)

Volume II: CONNACHT/ULSTER

Co. Galway (8 entries)

1. [location in Co. Galway unclear]

Mongans local group

Ward local group

McDonagh local group

Smith Protestant group

2. [informant resides Moate Co. Westmeath, writing re: in Co. Galway]

3. Driseacheán

Maughan but they are known locally as “Cléirigheas” (Clearys)

4. Ballinasloe

Ward most common

McDonagh sometimes

5. Ballinasloe (again)

Ward most numerous. married in with Cawleys, Maughans. “Wards and Maughans fight”

Donovan less frequent

Lynch less frequent

Birmingham less frequent

6. [location in Co. Galway unclear]

Ward tinkers

Maughan tinkers

Mannion “keep to much smaller areas than tinkers” – typically 15 mile radius of Tuam. no indication of why they’re separate from “tinkers”

Delaney ditto re Mannions

Sheridan Gypsies. visit in summer in connection with local fair or en route to Galway races.

7. Ballymoe

8. [location in Co. Galway unclear]

Cashman or Cash “The Piper” well known in Connemara. Large- scale buyer of donkeys and ponies (up to 80 at a time) to be sold in Leinster – not, therefore, solely a musician, despite the nickname.

Galway analysis

Fourteen surnames noted, with Ward (six mentions), Maughan (four) and McDonaghs (three) the most widespread, and another two (Mongans and Furey) with two mentions each. The remaining nine are one-offs. Note that the Ballymoe respondent lists three names followed by “etc.”, and that the Sheridans are classed as “Gypsies” while the Smiths – identified as Protestants – are not. The Wards are noted as intermarrying with the Cawleys and Maughans, but as fighting only with the latter.

(9 entries, 3 of them unclear, + 2 references in local newspaper, 1952)

1. Louisburgh

Barrett “Taffy” Barrett (who made and sold taffy at fairs) was not properly a tinker at all but the son of landless peasants who married a tinker (her name not given).

Maughan main Mayo name

Sheridan “of late”

Delaney “of late”

Coffey “of late”

2. Ballyhaunis(all named groups present within a 10-mile radius of Ballyhaunis) Ward oldest group and best known locally, for generations.

[Castlebar district court Connaught Telegraph 21 June 1952 covers a Collins arson case – son accused of burning out his own father.]

3. [location in Mayo unclear]

4. Baile Gaelach

5. Mayo/Galway (3 parishes, border area)

Mochan [sic]

Warde [sic]

Collins “sometimes frequent this area”

McDonagh “sometimes frequent this area”

Mochans and Wardes “travel roughly from Galway city, Tuam, Ballinrobe, Rilmaine, Hollymount, Claremorris, nearly an area of 50 miles. They don’t seem to appreciate any other clans. If such come there is an odd row. But as a rule the strangers move off.”

6. Balllinrobe

“These are called tinkers and are regarded as distinct from Gypsies [sic] who are often dealers in horses and make wickerwork articles.” [but no surnames given!]

[Ballinrobe: Connaught Telegraph June 28 1952 re two Cleary brothers from Ballinrobe.]

7. Ballina(99 year old informant – born a decade after the beginning of the Famine!)

[text in Irish but gives Traveller surnames as Béarla, implying that this is the version by which they are known ]

He observes: “Na tincéirí a thigeanns chun an cheannntar seo sí an béarla an teanga amháin a labhruigeann [sic] siad. Níor labhair siad ariamh aon fhocal gaedhilg…” [Translation: “English is the only language that the tinkers that come to this area speak. They never spoke a word of Irish…”]

8. Rossport

Prior to introduction of roads 100 years ago, there were only individual pedlars – tinker families, with draft animals, are relatively ‘new’ in the area.

Maughan “seem to be indigenous to Connaught”

Casey “seem to be indigenous to Connaught”

Neville “of Cork”. Sole family named in a reference to “other minor tribes”.

“They never participate in public amusements such as athletic sports, football, dances etc. They are not, of course, popular with the people, and the aversion is equally reciprocated by them. The latter are not of Irish homogeneity. They are a distinct people following their own exclusive way of life. In this respect they are somewhat on a par with the red Indians of America , with the difference that while the latter are aboriginal, our Irish Tinkers are supposed to be the descendants of an alien tribe. Certainly, whatever their origin or history, our tinkers seem to be a very ancient class in the Irish community.”

“The gypsies are a different race of caravan-dwelling hawkers and fortune-tellers.”

9. [location in Mayo unclear]

Mayo analysis

Total 19 surnames, 14 of which are one-offs. Maughan/Mochan and Collins are in joint lead (7 mentions each) followed by Ward(e) (6), Mongans (5) and McDonagh (4). Lists concluding with “and co.”, references to – but no names of – “Gypsies” seen as distinct from “tinkers”, and so on, are frustrating, indicating that this information is anything but exhaustive.

McGinley local; Sligo, Leitrim. Donegal

McGuire local

Cawley local; Roscommon, S Sligo, Tineragh

2. Doireleathan

Sligo analysis

Twelve surnames in all, only three of them (Cawley, McDonagh and

Ward) mentioned in both entries .

Co.Leitrim (2 entries)

Informants in this smallest of counties treat it as part of a larger (northwestern) region.

1. [location in Co. Leitrim unclear]

McDonagh Leitrim, Longford, Roscommon

McCawley [sic] Leitrim, Longford, Roscommon

McGinley recent arrivals

“The first two families move about through Leitrim, Longford and Roscommon. I have not heard of McGnleys until recently.”

2. Coillte Clochair

Ward intermarried, & travel, with McDonaghs

McDonagh intermarried, & travel, with Wards

Crumlish confined to Donegal. “often live in houses for considerable periods – especially around Ballyshannon.”

Stokes Roscommon

“The Ward and McDonagh clan [sic singular] have intermarried and to a great extent travel together. They travel large areas of Donegal, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Leitrim, Cavan, Sligo and Mayo.” [= the whole northwest quarter of the island]

: “Strange to say I do not know of any tinker who can speak Irish fluently.”

notes that Traveller presence in the locality predates the first road (1846) because an old thorn tree at their camping spot on the pre-road route is known as “beggars’ bush”.

Counties Leitrim and Sligo

This single entry covers two counties

McDonagh Galway; horse trading

Maughan (Mohan) West. intermarried with McDonaghs. tinsmiths.

Ward Donegal. wire workers. intermarried with Mulrooneys.

MacMurrough ragmen. also known as the Casógs, Old Coats

Caulderbanks

Delaney Wexford. musicians (pipers)

Mulrooney intermarried with Wards

Doherty [not listed but mentioned in passing]

All come and go through the northwest.

All are more differentiated by TRADES than by geography.

“Most of the older McDonaghs Wards and Dohertys can and do speak Irish among themselves or when so addressed.” It would be interesting to know more about the informant, especially his own familiarity with Irish, as only one other entry makes such a claim and so many others (including the very next entry) specifically note Travellers’ inability to speak this language.

Co.Roscommon (1 entry)

Ballihadreen

Ward principal local group

McDonagh less frequent but fairly common

Sweeney less frequent but fairly common

“No local tinker knows Irish.”

Nine entries, one of them unspecified

[I have noted which are Gaeltacht areas now (2007) and so certainly were in the mid 1950s]

Notes that the surnames O’Rourke, Gallagher and Boyle all suggest dispossession at the time of the Plantation.

2. [location in Donegal unclear]

This is the wordlist collected from Mrs. Stokes née Mongans, from Roscommon, passing through Donegal. The respondent notes: “The Stokes family had little of tinkers’ traditions etc. beyond the list of words enclosed.”

The respondent also lists, without locating,

Doherty largest group, with several branches.

McDonagh “ Connaught visitors” “rather too numerous for one surname” (suspects that McDonagh is a generic term for Connacht Travellers – though whether self-ascribed not indicated.

“I heard tinkers using Irish in the Donegal Gaeltacht.”

8. Ballintra

No names given. Says few Traveller families locally; “nothing to poach”!

McMahon surname of last family to visit the area

Donegal analysis

Twenty-one different surnames are given, with McGinley and (O’) Doherty most frequently cited (five times) and Mc(G)Rory and O’Rourke twice each. The remainder are all once-offs.

Co. Monaghan

(four entries, one of which covers a broad border area)

1. Castleblaney

Both very well known in this district. Generally travel counties Monaghan, Cavan, Louth, Meath, and Westmeath.

2. Scairb na gCaorach (Emyvale)

Cawley pass through

Power pass through

Curran pass through

Emyvale is on the direct Dublin-N Irl route. Informant says many Travellers pass through, but only these 3 families are named.

3. Clones, re Cavan/Monaghan/Fermanagh border

Cawley intermarried with Cooneys, Dohertys

Cooney intermarried with Cawleys

[Dohertys not mentioned except as intermarrying with Cawleys]

Informant spoke with 70-year-old Mr. Cawley, a native of Cavan/ Monaghan who has rarely travelled outside this area and then solely to Northern Ireland .

4. Iniskeen

McCann local group

Doyle local group

Monaghan analysis

Ten surnames are noted; only one of them, Cawley, is repeated, and one entry links this family with the Cooneys and Dohertys.

Co.Cavan (three entries)

1. [location in Co. Cavan unclear]

McCeann [sic] “gipsies”. Cavan, Longford, Westmeath & Leitrim. “well-to-do”

Informant differentiates between “gipsies” and “tinkers” but doesn’t explain how. The McCeanns [sic] are the sole family named, and they are identified as Gypsy.

2. Ballyconnell

(five surnames, ALL of them unique to this respondent!)

3. [location in Co. Cavan unclear]

Cavan analysis

Of the seven surnames noted only one, McC(e)ann, is mentioned in two entries.

NORTHERN IRELAND

(nine entries, three of which give no surnames)

Although I have put all the Northern Ireland material together, it is in fact dispersed among the rest of the Ulster material, as shown by the page numbers.

1. recorded in Belfast

McDonagh Ellen McDonagh, a 36-year-old from Sligo, gives “Traveller” as her occupation. McDonagh is the sole surname noted in this entry.

2. Ballycastle, N Antrim

8. Various parishes in Co. Tyrone, all informants are farmers of 70+

McDonagh local

Stokes regarded as being “the most wicked of any of the tinker tribes”

Dowd “The Dowds were also a feared tribe. It used to be said to quarrelsome children, ‘You’re as bad as the Dowds.’”

“Approximating to the tinker clans were the McGuigans and the Sharkeys. I have recorded information about these people in collections, family names etc.” – but he doesn’t explain how they “approximate”!

9. South Fermanagh

Mangans [sic]

White Protestant

Price Protestant

Kesh Protestant

Locke Protestant

Steward [sic, d] Protestant

These families were identified as Protestant by a “gipsie” who also said they can talk all night in their own language; note that the sample vocabulary given is Irish Traveller, not Romani.

(By implication, those families not identified as Protestant are Catholic.)

Northern Irelandan alysis

There is so little information for Northern Ireland that I have put it together – and even this is imprecise, as two of the nine entries cover more than one county, including one in Connacht, albeit bordering Ulster .

Twenty-four surnames are noted; all but five of them are one-offs, and only McDonagh and Ward get as many as three mentions (Crumlish, Mahon and Stokes get two each).

Ireland was one of the first countries to adopt hereditary surnames. Many of these names were devised during the reign of Brian Boru, the High King of Ireland who fell defending Ireland from the Vikings at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014 BCE.

50 Most Common Irish Surnames

Many of these early Irish surnames began as patronyms to identify a son separately from his father or a grandson from his grandfather. This is why it is very common to see prefixes attached to Irish surnames. Mac, sometimes written Mc, is the Gaelic word for "son" and was attached to the father's name or trade. Ó is an ancient Gaelic word, signifying "grandson" when attached to a grandfather's name or trade.

The apostrophe that usually follows the O actually comes from a misunderstanding by English-speaking clerks in Elizabethan time, who interpreted it as a form of the word "of." Another common Irish prefix, Fitz, derives from the French word fils, also meaning "son."

This Irish family was very widespread, settling in Fermanagh, Galway, Kerry, Kilkenny, and Westmeath. The Brennan surname in Ireland is now mostly found in County Sligo and the province of Leinster.

Brown or Browne

Common in both England and Ireland, the Irish Brown families are most commonly found in the province of Connacht (specifically Galway and Mayo), as well as Kerry.

The O Boyles were chieftains in Donegal, ruling west Ulster with the O Donnells and the O Doughertys. Boyle descendants can also be found in Kildare and Offaly.

The Norman last name Burke originated from the borough of Caen in Normandy (de burg means "of the borough"). The Burkes have been in Ireland since the 12th century, settling mainly in the province of Connacht.

The O Byrne (Ó Broin) family originally came from Kildare, until the Anglo-Normans arrived and they were driven south to the Wicklow mountains. The Byrne surname is still very common in Wicklow, as well as Dublin and Louth.

The Callaghans were a powerful family in the province of Munster. Individuals with the Irish surname Callaghan (also spelled Callahan) are most numerous in Clare and Cork.

Campbell families are very prevalent in Donegal (most are descended from Scottish mercenary soldiers), as well as in Cavan. Campbell is a descriptive surname meaning "crooked mouth."

The Carroll surname (and variants such as O'Carroll) can be found throughout Ireland, including Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Kerry, Kilkenny, Leitrim, Louth, Monaghan, and Offaly. There is also a MacCarroll family (anglicized to MacCarvill) from the province of Ulster.

One of the oldest surnames in Ireland, the O Clery surname (anglicized to Clarke) is most prevalent in Cavan.

The common Irish surname Collins originated in Limerick, though after the Norman invasion they fled to Cork. There are also Collin families from the province of Ulster, most of whom were probably English.

Three distinct O Connell clans, located in the provinces of Connacht, Ulster, and Munster, are the originators of many of the Connell families in Clare, Galway, Kerry.

Originally an Irish clan from Galway, the Connolly families settled in Cork, Meath, and Monaghan.

In Irish Ó Conchobhair or Ó Conchúir, the Connor last name means "hero or champion." The O Connor family was one of three royal Irish families; they are from Clare, Derry, Galway, Kerry, Offaly, Roscommon, Sligo and the province of Ulster.

The Doyle last name comes from dubh ghall , the "dark foreigner," and is thought to be Norse in origin. In the province of Ulster, they were known as Mac Dubghaill (MacDowell and MacDuggall). The greatest concentrations of Doyles are in Leinster, Roscommon, Wexford, and Wicklow.

Ó Dubhthaigh, anglicized to Duffy, comes from an Irish name meaning black or swarthy. Their original homeland was Monaghan, where their surname is still the most common. They are also from Donegal and Roscommon.

From the Irish for brown (donn), the original Irish name Ó Duinn has by now lost the O prefix. In the province of Ulster, the final e is omitted. Dunne is the most common surname in Laois, where the family originated. Also occasionally spelled Donne.

The O Farrell chieftains were lords of Annaly near Longford and Westmeath. Farrell is a surname generally meaning "valiant warrior."

A Norman family who came to Ireland in 1170, the Fitzgeralds (spelled Mac Gearailt in parts of Ireland) claimed vast holdings in Cork, Kerry, Kildare, and Limerick. The surname Fitzgerald translates directly as "son of Gerald."

The Irish surname Ó Floinn is prevalent in the province of Ulster. However, the "F" is no longer pronounced and the name is now Loinn or Lynn. The Flynn surname can also be found in Clare, Cork, Kerry, and Roscommon.

The Gallagher clan has been in County Donegal since the 4th century and Gallagher is the most common surname in this area.

The ancient Irish Moores settled in Kildare, while most Moores are from Antrim and Dublin.

The most common of all Irish names, the Murphy surname can be found in all four provinces. Murphys are primarily from Antrim, Armagh, Carlow, Cork, Kerry, Roscommon, Sligo, Tyrone, and Wexford, however.

The Murray surname is especially prolific in Donegal.

What’s the difference between a tinker and a Gypsy?

Irish Travellers are sometimes mistakenly called Gypsies, but they have no genetic relation to the Roma people. In Ireland, Travellers were commonly known as tinkers because many worked as tinsmiths, and the term is derived from the sound their tools made when hitting metal.

What is slang for Gypsy Irish?

“Pikey” is a slang term that is considered by many to be a slur. It is used in the UK and Ireland to refer to people who are members of the Traveller community, an ethno-cultural group primarily found in Great Britain and Ireland.

What is an Irish gypsy called?

Irish gypsies are known as Irish Travellers or “White Gypsies.” They are members of a nomadic ethnic group with uncertain origins.

Why do gypsies clean so much?

Cleanliness and taking pride in their belongings are part of the culture and customs of Travellers. While their outside spaces may sometimes look messy due to being their workplace, their homes are usually pristine.

Gene study reveals Irish Travellers' ancestry

Irish Travellers are of Irish ancestral origin and have no particular genetic ties to European Roma groups, a DNA study has found.

The research offers the first estimates of when the community split from the settled Irish population, giving a rare glimpse into their history and heritage.

Researchers led by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) and the University of Edinburgh analysed genetic information from 42 people who identified as Irish Travellers.

The team compared variations in their DNA code with that of 143 European Roma, 2,232 settled Irish, 2,039 British and 6,255 European or worldwide individuals.

Irish ancestry

They found that Travellers are of Irish ancestral origin but have significant differences in their genetic make-up compared with the settled community.

These differences have arisen because of hundreds of years of isolation combined with a decreasing Traveller population, the researchers say.

The findings confirm that the Irish Traveller population has an Irish ancestry and this comes at a time where the ethnicity of Travellers is being considered by the Irish State. Professor Gianpiero Cavalleri Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland

The team estimates the group began to separate from the settled population at least 360 years ago.

Their findings dispute the theory that Travellers were displaced by the Great Famine, which struck Ireland in 1845.

It is exciting to find that the Irish Travellers have been genetically isolated for such a considerable time. They hold great potential for understanding common diseases, not just within their own community but also more generally. I hope very much that further funding will allow us to study the genetics of the Travellers in more detail. Professor Jim Wilson Usher Institute for Population Health Sciences and Informatics

Tight community

There are estimated to be up to 40,000 Travellers living in Ireland, which represents less than one per cent of the population.

Little is known about the group's heritage and there is scant documentary evidence of their history.

The study is published in the journal Scientific Reports.

The full list of surnames on a holiday park’s “blacklist” has been released as the company was found to have engaged in “shocking overt race discrimination”.

Pontins was found to have instructed staff to decline or cancel bookings made by people suspected of being Irish Travellers by referring to a list of banned surnames, according to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).

It comes after a whistleblower originally revealed the discriminatory practices, having shared the list of “undesirable guests” with the EHRC in 2020.

Pontins has now been served with an unlawful act notice and must, by law, produce an action plan to set out how it intends to meet the EHRC’s recommendations.

The black list included over 30 common Irish surnames like O’Donnell, Carr, Gallagher and MacLaughlin. The full set of names are below:

• MacLaughlin

Pontins, owned by Britannia Jinky Jersey Ltd, also introduced a policy in 2018, which required guests to be on the electoral roll, a practice that was found to be discriminatory against Gypsies and Travellers, as people from these communities are far less likely to be registered to vote.

The EHRC has now ordered the firm to issue a public apology to the Gypsy and Traveller communities and introduce equality training, with a deadline for an action plan given as 9 April – otherwise Pontins could face criminal charges.

Commenting on the investigation, Baroness Falkner said: “The discrimination faced by Irish Travellers, and other members of the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, has no place in 21st-century Britain. The impact of the discrimination faced by those who were refused bookings at Pontins cannot be overstated. People told us that the experience was ‘painful’ and made them feel ‘dehumanised’.

“As the equality regulator for Great Britain, it is our mission to ensure people are treated equally and fairly. Our investigation, with the help of a brave whistleblower, has shown that Pontins comprehensively failed to treat its customers equally and fairly. At the Equality and Human Rights Commission, we will always challenge such discrimination.

“Pontins broke the law. Pontins must now put right their wrongs. We will continue to hold them, and others who think they are above the law, to account.”

A spokesperson for Pontins said: “We are in the process of reviewing the unlawful act notice and investigation report from the Equality and Human Rights Commission. The specific incidents reported by the EHRC are historic issues, pre-dating 2018.

“The call centre where the incidents took place has now closed and the majority of the staff involved have now left Pontins. We apologise to all who may have been affected. Pontins is committed to ensuring ongoing compliance with the Equality Act 2010.”

Pontins apologises for discriminating against irish travellers.

Baroness Kishwer Falkner

Holiday park operator Pontins has apologised for discriminating against Irish Travellers as it begins to implement an action plan developed with Britain’s equality watchdog.

In February, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) published an investigation into Pontins and served the company with an unlawful act notice.

The investigation uncovered company systems and practices aimed at barring Irish Travellers from the company’s holiday parks between 2013 and 2018.

The EHRC’s investigation found 11 unlawful acts which discriminated against Irish Travellers, including monitoring calls within its contact centre and refusing or cancelling any bookings that were made by people with an Irish accent or surname.

Pontins maintained a list of Irish surnames, published on its intranet page, entitled “undesirable guests”, and staff were required to block any potential customers with those names from making bookings.

It also introduced an electoral roll requirement in its booking terms and conditions as a disguised form of discrimination against the Traveller community.

The action plan, agreed between Pontins and the EHRC, will introduce a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination. This includes the removal of the electoral roll terms with a commitment to not reintroducing the term.

To address the unlawful acts uncovered by the EHRC, the actions agreed will focus on the monitoring of booking policies, the introduction of safeguards in systems and processes, a whistleblower action plan and engagement with Traveller communities.

Baroness Kishwer Falkner, chairwoman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said: “Race and ethnicity should never be a barrier to going on holiday.

“Pontins has today apologised to the Irish Traveller community it discriminated against and has begun work to introduce strict safeguards and guarantee a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination.

“I hope those affected are reassured that when the EHRC find evidence of such flagrant discrimination, we act to hold those responsible to account.

“The wider holiday sector should ensure that their policies and procedures do not breach equality law. Our investigation report recommended removal of electoral roll terms and conditions across the sector.”

By publishing a formal apology to the Gypsy and Traveller community, Pontins is implementing the first step in the action plan.

A spokesperson for Pontins said: “On behalf of the owners, directors, senior managers and all of us here at Pontins, we would like to reiterate our apologies regarding the serious issues raised by the Equality and Human Rights Commission in their report.

“In particular we want to apologise directly to the Traveller and Gypsy community. The refusal to allow guests to stay at our parks because we suspected they were Irish Travellers was clearly wrong.

“We accept the serious nature of the issues raised in the report. We deeply regret any distress caused, particularly to members of the traveller and gypsy communities who have been directly affected.

“Working with the Equality and Human Rights Commission we are fully committed to ensuring ongoing compliance with the Equality Act 2010, implementing a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination of all forms and to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for all of our guests.

“We have reviewed the points raised by the EHRC and have developed and entered into a one-year action plan, that will be monitored by the EHRC, to ensure ongoing compliance with the Equality Act 2010.”

The EHRC will monitor the implementation of the action plan.

Pontins apologises to Irish Travellers over race discrimination blacklist

I revealed the company had created a blacklist of surnames as part of a policy of refusing bookings by travellers to its holiday villages.

Holiday park operator Pontins has apologised to Irish Travellers, saying that its refusal to allow guests to stay at its resorts because it suspected they were from the community was “clearly wrong”.

In 2021, i revealed that the company had created a blacklist of mainly Irish surnames as part of a policy of refusing bookings by Travellers to its holiday villages.

Surnames on the list included Boyle, Delaney, Murphy, Gallagher, O’Mahoney, McMahon and O’Donnell.

The issue was investigated by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) , which found Pontins had engaged in unlawful acts of discrimination against Irish Travellers.

The inquiry found evidence of 11 unlawful acts, including refusing or cancelling bookings made by people with Irish accents or surnames, and creating a list of surnames labelled as “undesirable guests”.

Since then, Pontins has developed a plan to tackle discrimination alongside the EHRC, with the first stage being the issuing of a public apology.

A spokesman for the company said it would like to “reiterate our apologies regarding the serious issues” raised by the ECHR. The statement added: “We want to apologise directly to the Traveller and Gypsy community.

“The refusal to allow guests to stay at our parks because we suspected they were Irish Travellers was clearly wrong.

“We deeply regret any distress caused, particularly to members of the Traveller and Gypsy communities who have been directly affected.”

The company added that it was “fully committed to ensuring ongoing compliance with the Equality Act 2010, implementing a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination of all forms, and to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for all of our guests”.

Baroness Falkner, the EHRC’s chairwoman, said: “Race and ethnicity should never be a barrier to going on holiday.

“Pontins has today apologised to the Irish Traveller community it discriminated against and has begun work to introduce strict safeguards and guarantee a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination.”

Pontins previously said that the call centre where the incidents took place had been closed. An action plan – implementation of which will be monitored by the EHRC – will introduce a “zero-tolerance approach to discrimination”.

i revealed how the list of “undesirable” surnames was shared on the company’s employee intranet, known as “Pontastic”.

It consisted of 40 surnames with identifiable Irish roots: Boylan, Boyle, Carney, Carr, Cash, Connors, Corcoran, Delaney, Doherty, Dorran, Gallagher, Horan, Keefe, Kell, Leahy, Lee, MacLaughlin, McAlwick, McCully, McDonagh, McGinley, McGinn, McGuinness, McHarg, McLaughan, McMahon, Millighan, Mongans, Murphy, Nolan, O’Brien, O’Connell, O’Donnell, O’Donoghue, O’Mahoney, O’Reilly, Sheriadan [ sic ], Stokes, Walch [ sic ], and Ward.

Pontins was founded in 1946 and once had 30 holiday camps, but only two remain: Pakefield Holiday Village in Lowestoft, Suffolk, and Sand Bay Holiday Village in Kewstoke, Somerset.

Irish Travellers are a separate cultural group that started migrating to Britain in the early 19th century and can be traced back to 12th century Ireland.  

Gene study reveals Irish Travellers' ancestry Genetic research found that Irish Travellers are of Irish origin and have significant genetic makeup compared to their settled community. An estimated 40,000 Travellers (less than 1% of the population) are living in Ireland today. Although sometimes called gypsies, they have no genetic relation to Romani . 

Celtic Travellers DNA Project

The Celtic Travellers DNA project is for descendants and members and of Irish Travellers , Highland Scottish Travellers, Lowland Scottish Travellers, Fairground Travellers and other Non-Romani travelling families. However, Roma or mixed Traveller heritage are also welcome to join.

Census & BMD Records

Clues that can suggest Traveller ancestry include:

Occupations: tinker, tinman, tinsmith, whitesmith, dealer, pedlar, horse dealer, basket maker,  peg maker , knife grinder/ sharpener, hawker , musician , and sometimes labourer.

Place of Birth : All the children in the family being born in different places is also a big clue. 

Residence : Unusual residences such as "tent on common"

Irish Gypsies and Irish Travellers are distinct ethnic groups often referred to in parish registers as 'Pavees' or 'Minceir'.

Pontins turned away customers who they suspected were Irish Travellers over a five-year period. An investigation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) found the holiday operator used a variety of tactics between 2013 and 2018 to prevent Travellers from attending their parks.

Pontins’ approach included turning people away if they suspected they were Irish Travellers due to their accent or surname. The EHRC investigation uncovered how Pontins’ practices were aimed at ensuring Travellers were not able to attend, reports the Echo.

The investigation found 11 unlawful acts which discriminated against Irish Travellers in their report. They included introducing an electoral roll requirement in its booking terms and conditions as a disguised form of discrimination, publishing a list of Irish surnames on the company’s internal system titled “undesirable guests”, and monitoring calls within its contact centre and cancelling bookings made by people with an Irish accent or surname.

Irish Traveller Community gets apology from British resort operator for discrimination

The apology to irish travellers is part of a "zero-tolerance" action plan pontins has agreed to with the equality and human rights commission (ehrc)..

Pontins has issued an apology to Irish Travellers after the British holiday park operator was found to have been discriminating against the community .

The apology is part of an action plan developed by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) following an investigation into Pontins which uncovered company systems and practices aimed at barring Irish Travellers between 2013 and 2018.

"On behalf of the owners, directors, senior managers and all of us here at Pontins, we would like to reiterate our apologies regarding the serious issues raised by the Equality and Human Rights Commission in their report," a Pontins spokesperson said on Monday.

"In particular we want to apologise directly to the traveller and gypsy community.

The EHRC's investigation, which was published in February , said in part: "At Pontins, race discrimination was company policy that staff had to follow.

"Holidaymakers were routinely discriminated against when Pontins felt their name, accent or address indicated they were part of this ethnic group."

The discrimination was formalized, in part, by a list of "undesirable guests" that was published on Pontins' intranet.

"We have been informed by our Operations Director that we do not want these guests on our parks," the list of Irish surnames said.

A note on the list added: "If you find any undesirable guests trying to book then we need to refuse the booking using our T&C [terms and conditions]."

Additionally, in 2018, Pontins introduced a term in its booking terms and conditions stipulating that UK resident guests must appear on the electoral roll.

Upon the publication of the EHCR's investigation in February, Pontins said "the specific incidents reported by the EHRC are historic issues, pre-dating 2018."

It added: "We apologize to all who may have been affected. Pontins is committed to ensuring ongoing compliance with the Equality Act 2010."

Pontins apology to Irish Travellers ‘late’ but ‘encouraging’, says charity

The holiday park operator offered the apology on Monday after an investigation found practices aimed at barring Irish Travellers from its sites.

A leading charity has described Pontins’ apology to Irish Travellers over discrimination as “later than expected” but “encouraging”.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) served the holiday park operator with an unlawful act notice in February for engaging in what the watchdog described as “shocking overt race discrimination” towards Irish Travellers.

Friends, Families and Travellers, a leading national charity which works to end racism and discrimination against Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people, welcomed the apology but admitted it was “later than expected”.

A spokesperson for the organisation said: “Although later than expected, it is encouraging to see Pontins taking the first step to redress the harm inflicted on Gypsy and Traveller communities.

“As part of a wider net of institutions where rate hate is normalised, we hope others take stock of Pontins being held to account and uproot their own discriminatory practices in turn.

“We have not heard from the holiday park operator about the prospect of training with us yet, as laid out in their action plan, but look forward to entering conversations. There’s a real opportunity to invest in tangible change, and it’s vital it’s not missed.”

The EHRC investigation, which was published earlier this year, found Pontins had been involved in 11 unlawful acts and uncovered “company systems and practices” aimed at barring Irish Travellers from its holiday parks between 2013 and 2018.

Breaches of the Equality Act included creating a list of common Irish surnames labelled as “undesirable guests”.

A “banned guest” list was also found to be in place, containing people Pontins suspected of being Irish Travellers and their associates such as family or friends.

Pontins, owned by Britannia Jinky Jersey Limited, also brought in rules requiring guests to appear on the electoral register, which the commission said was a discriminatory practice against gypsies and travellers, who are less likely to be on the register.

A spokesperson for the company said on Monday that it would like to “reiterate our apologies” and admitted its refusal to allow guests to stay at its parks “was clearly wrong”.

The statement said: “On behalf of the owners, directors, senior managers and all of us here at Pontins, we would like to reiterate our apologies regarding the serious issues raised by the Equality and Human Rights Commission in their report.

“The refusal to allow guests to stay at our parks, because we suspected they were Irish Travellers, was clearly wrong.

“We accept the serious nature of the issues raised in the report.

“We deeply regret any distress caused, particularly to members of the traveller and gypsy communities who have been directly affected.

“Working with the Equality and Human Rights Commission we are fully committed to ensuring ongoing compliance with the Equality Act 2010, implementing a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination of all forms and to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for all of our guests.

“We have reviewed the points raised by the EHRC and have developed and entered into a one-year action plan, that will be monitored by the EHRC, to ensure ongoing compliance with the Equality Act 2010.”
