It was organised by Galway Traveller Movement, over comments he made on Traveller housing last week.

He's since apologised - but the Traveller community says it's not enough, and claim his unacceptable comments have caused enormous hurt.

Today, they gathered at City Hall, before marching to the Galmont Hotel, where a meeting of Galway City Council was being hosted.

David Nevin went down to speak to some of those taking part.
