Taylor's Olympic teammate, silver medallist and settled Traveller from Mullingar John Joe Nevin, was the guest of honour.
Among the award winners was 'Voice of Ireland' runner-up, new mother Kelly Mongan, who received the music award.
The Traveller Pride Awards are the lead event for Traveller Pride Week, which takes place next week.
