Council begins legal bid to move Travellers

LEGAL moves began yesterday to move Traveller caravans parked illegally in an estate on Cork’s northside.

City council officials visited the encampment of 17 caravans parked on a green area near the reservoir in Knocknaheeny to gather evidence for court proceedings.

The council has referred the matter to gardaí under the Housing Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2002.
