Traveller encampment sparks angry protests

THE number of Travellers using an encampment on the outskirts of the heritage town of Cashel has sparked angry protests from members of the public and councillors who want them moved on.

Cllr Joe Moloney said the situation at the encampment would be “a joke” were it not so serious for residents and for the town in general. He said at one stage there were as many horses at the site as there are at trainer Aidan O’Brien’s stables in nearby Ballydoyle.

He said it was high time the council dealt with the situation.
