Family defiant despite halting site eviction
One of the evicted families remained defiant last night, however, with children occupying an abandoned car at the Mahon site.
Cork City Council said the family, Hugh and Anne Maguire and their 10 children, had been allocated a place in a halting site in Dundalk, where they had been based prior to living in Cork. The Maguire family, it emerged, had also abandoned a council house in Mahon to move to England to support Mr Maguire who had been hospitalised after a skin graft operation.
