You didn't need to, the person in question was described as part of the traveller community, you made a negative generalisation about the person's community, whether they're Romany, Irish traveller or neither, it was unnecessary and shitty.

Also, if you read up, their piss-taking antisocial behaviour had already been demonstrated and described. This individual has dumped "rubbish, scrap material and rotting vehicle" on the land and was described as being "from a well known traveller community" (my emphasis), and it was further stated that "in my experience, many within that community have a 'greater than typical' understanding of issues relating to land possession etc" which was clearly a veiled reference to trespassing and other antisocial land occupation.
But you didn't fucking call that out did you?

I made no reference to either Romany gypsies or Irish ethnicity.
