An Irish traveller has won £1,500 compensation for discrimination after a pub refused to serve him.

Michael McDonagh, 28, was refused a drink by Wendy Buck when he went into The Pegasus pub and filmed himself asking her for an explanation.

He can be heard explaining he had been to the pub "hundreds" of times before and claimed he had "never caused any problems".

Mrs Buck claimed she barred him because she thought he had been involved in a fight at the Bristol boozer 15 months earlier and not because he was a traveller.
