A judge has refused an application from Cork County Council for an ex parte interim injunction granting the local authority powers to remove a mobile home from a green area in Fermoy, and has adjourned the matter until Friday to allow the occupants to have their say in court.

Residents of a Cork housing estate have blockaded a truck in the area, and say they will not allow it to leave until they are satisfied it will remove a mobile home it delivered to their green on Thursday.
