Travellers protest at boundary wall in business park

A TRAVELLER family mounted a picket at Limerick City Hall yesterday, claiming they were being forced out of a halting site by a new boundary wall being built at an adjoining business park.

Limerick Traveller Development Group said the wall was going to separate members of the Casey family with one family being forced to leave the halting site at Clonlong.

Timmy Casey, 29, said: “We were told by the council four weeks ago that they were planning to throw us out on the road and build a 13 foot high wall around the site. We were told if we did not move we would be forced onto the roadside.”
